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

No, it will need 50Hz. You can buy frequency converters but they start at USD1k (http://www.gohz.com/frequency-converter?specs=3,19,21) ... one option would be to buy a Japan spec Neo Rega PSU and a US to Japan step down ... but will likely still cost as much as the table!  http://www.rega.co.uk/neo-turntable-psu.html

Seriously as others have suggested your only real solution is this
