Hello,

From what I’ve read, the transformers powering sega amps are rated at 100VAC.
Does anybody know if the 100vac is a fixed value or if it may tolerate higher current (120 VAC)?

Thanks!

I'd look at the Sega amp circuit. For example, in the Sega Saturn the console case specifies 100V, but the power supply circuit sometimes specifies 125V.

I've checked 5 different schematic diagrams. In all cases the machine includes a 120v-100v step down transformer.
 
I think almost everyone runs them at 120VAC. I don't think it will be an issue.
