The only thing you have to do is to hook it up to a 110V to 220V transformer, the AC frequency increase is not important as long as you are using a black and white monitor, with an external synchro, but if you want to connect it to a TV or a color monitor you might experience some troubles (if the synchro reference is taken from the main (110V)). With an 520 1Meg, 2 SF314, 1 SM 124, 1 Panasonic KXP 1091, I use one 500 Watt transformer, wich is more than enough (add the watt ratings of all your stuff times 1.2 (safety coefficient) to get the power of the transformer you'll need. tune it to maximum of smoke.
