Help!! Bought Rega TT in the UK and now cant use it in the U.S.

So I bought a Rega Planar 2 through Amazon U.K. because it was $175 cheaper than anywhere in the U.S. I feel stupid now because I did not think about the power supply. Can someone please guide me in the right direction as to what some of my options are to be able to use the TT here in the U.S. I dont want to make the wrong move and burn the motor in the TT.
Im not to savy when it comes to electricity so your guidance is appreciated. Thanks

Not sure about Rega, but we’re here using many Japanese turntables, they are all designed for 100 volt, but the outlet voltage in my country is 220v. Japanese turntable manufacturers provide switch between 50 and 60Hz on the turntable. So all i need is a step down transformer.

In your case you need a Step Up Transformer from your power outlet in the USA (110v) to your tuntable motor made for UK (220/240v).
