I just picked up a classic Sansui G-9000 stereo.

The receiver has a sticker on its side stating 220V. I'm in the U.S. What can I do to use this in a secondary system to power some Legacy Victoria's?

Its built like a tank and sounds amazing. I have the Sansui AU 9900 integrated amp and Sansui TU 9900 tuner. . The 2 people i recommend for modifiying or fixing Sansui and all Classic Japanese receivers from the 70s is Terry Dewick in Tennessee and Glenn McDonald from Vintage Audio Restoration in Kansas City, MO. Glenn's email is, EchoWars@kc.rr.com Here's Terry's site to email or call him. http://www.mcintoshaudio.com/dewick_repairs.htm - Here's reviews on Terry. http://mail.audiokarma.net/forums/showthread.php?t=338191 -

Ptss Wouldn't that be a step-up transformer? If you're lucky, there may be a voltage selector switch on the back panel. If not, you might remove the cover and look inside for a voltage selector switch.
