most decks have a dc motor so these decks can operate on both 50 or 60hz. i have used a step down transformer (220 to 120 V)on my nakamichi CR7. just make sure that the transformer's power capacity is at least 10 percent more than the decks power consumption. On my other nakamich CR3 i had a tecnician simply alter the winding on the deck's transformer to 220v when i had it in for servicing. apparently it's a simple job any qualified hi fi tech can do.
