This shouldn't be too hard to find.  Only the transformer in the power  
supplies need to be rewired or replaced, and maybe bigger filter caps for the 50  
Hz steda 60.
 
The disk drive motors all run on DC and are not affected by the power line  
frequency, unlike turntables and tape recorders.  So the disk drives  
themselves are the same as the US versions, unless I'm overlooking  something.  --Mike
