Using Japan 100V Accuphase amp in US 120V. Safe?

I bought an Accuphase E-212 from audiogon recently.
On the back of the unit it clearly shows 100v which is Japaness voltage. I spoke with the seller about this issue and he told me that Accuphase are made universal, which means that you can run 100V amp made for Japaness in US as well. I don't agree with him. According to Accuphase catelog, the US amps has 120V printed on the back of E-212.
The link is www.accuphase.com/pdf/e-212_e.pdf
Can I run 100V amp in US 120v? Anybody has ideas? Thanks.

No you're wrong Dazzdax...i've just converted my E-550 to run on 230V...all models can be converted to any voltage.

Who cares about warranty when Accuphase lasts a lifetime...

Cyuagain...i guess you bought from Georgia_on_my_mind...he is a well known fraudster...now booted from Audiogon.

If you open the E212 and send me photos i can tell you how to rewire for 120V. I've rewired almost every single Accuphase component.

By the way it wont get fried if you accidentally plug it into 230V...the fuse will blow thats all. Maybe one or two other tiny components may go but nothing major.
