Yes that stepdown converter would be perfect.

Question about Super Nintendo power thingy.
For some reason I have like 7 NES power kajiggers.
I cannot find my single SNES power thingy.

Any other power thing I could use, or make work with it?

NES adapter == BAD. We've discussed that issue to death around here.
If you're inclined, you can install a bridge rectifier and a filter capacitor inside your NES kajigger to turn the AC into DC.

There's no issue using an official Famicom Disk System AC adapter in the USA, right?

Found the SNES power thing in the back of...Sock drawer. What the hell. xD

I have several motherboards, an old laptop and a file server on the shoe storage thingie of my closet.
I'm a dude so I don't have like a million pair of shoes as women do, that empty space needs to get filled up with something :P

Japan has it easy.
Famicom and Super Famicom use the same adaptor.  :D

If you have any questions about your Twin Famicom, I can answer them.

I have a Twin Famicom, and I'm in the Netherlands also ;)

You Dutch guys should get together for a Famicom session. You don't live far from each other.  :)

Okay, is it fine to just plug the official Famicom Disk System AC adapter into an American outlet and not have it do any damage to the system?

I've heard of people using step-down converters, but don't electronics like this usually have a voltage tolerance?

Welllllllllllllllllllll.............
The FDS voltage is just like the Famicom's, so if you use a stepdown for that, get a surge protector, and plug the FDS in it too.
I do this just to be safe, and so far, it's worked! :D
I like to glitch old VHS tapes and turn them into visuals for live music events. Check out what I'm working on - www.instagram.com/tylerisneat
