Step down voltage for Japan to US turntable


Having purchased a turntable labeled 100v 50/60hz I'm wondering if it is necessary to use a step-down transformer to convert US 120v to 100v. I've heard both that you do and that you don't need to do this. Can someone tell me if they have experience in this application? Thanks.

What I wonder about is the 50hz. Typically motors use the line frequency to establish rpm. Does it have a strobe light or other method of adjusting speed?
