Japan purchases


They talk about buying a converter. And name brands that we know from Japan, preowned. What do you see as possible issues? What are the risks of a converter and are they expensive? 
Has anyone really had any experience doing this… good or bad?

I bought a Technics SP10mk2 turntable originally built with voltage for the Japanese market. It was pre-owned from a US seller, who already added a Technics voltage converter. Not a big deal; a small box with input and output plugs. It was small and sat next to the power supply. Never gave it a 2nd thought. There are probably tons of reasonably good ones available at low cost. Cheers,

Yahoo Japan takes a little navigating. You have to preload money before you can bid. Have bought a couple of things there.
