Question about foreign power adaptors.

["Brian O'Connell" <brian.oconnell@point-of-view.com>]

I thought that some of the nice people on this list might be able to help 
me
with a slight problem/concern that I've been having.

I recently bought a Boss 660 drum machine off of a guy who's from Japan, 
and
he originally bought it in Japan. So it's power is rated for Japanese
current. It plugs into the American outlets fine (I'm a yank) and runs fine
as well. My concern is that the machine gets rather warm and even hot after
only a few minutes of use (10 minutes). I'm afraid that I'm going to blow 
it
up one of these days. So does anyone know of an adaptor that will change
American currant to Japanese currant? Or does anyone know the number for
Roland or Boss customer service line I can call (I'm having a hard time
getting in touch with them). The adaptor for the unit says:

Input: AC 100V 50-60Hz
Output: AC 12V 6VA

What do you think? Any advice? Suggestions? Is it normal for the 660 to 
warm
up this much?
