Voltage question


 Would a component from Japan that is rated 100 volts be safe to use here on 110-120 volts, without some type of transformer or the like?  TIA  Mike

 As stated in the OP ,its rated 100v.   So far Ive been told:
1. Need a transformer2. Its fine.3. Dont even plug it in.Appreciate your thoughts. If I do pursue this I would probably look into stepping down the voltage. Where is a good place to look for one?  Thanks again.
thanks everyone for your input. If I do pursue this I will definitely step down the voltage, hopefully avoiding STD  s....
