If you use the US Amiga with a transformer and an US Amiga monitor, it
will work fine on 50 Hz.  If you want to go native, you can switch the
power supply and Agnus chip, however the composite video won't be correct
unless you also change the system clock oscillator, which is soldered in.
There is also the issue of the US vs. International keyboard.

Sorry, but I don't have a really good answer.
