Thanks for the confirmations. The step-up from
110->220 should be pretty
easy to deal with, but I'm wondering how tolerant this supply would be of
60Hz A/C. I suppose if it's a direct clone of the Dec Pro's supply it
might be OK, I'll have to compare :).

Better forget the Idea about a "direct clone".
The computers are looking like ther american originals but if you are
looking deeper, they don't have much in common.
Most of the software is compatible, ok.
That's my experience for years. Please don't think russians are idiots
that are only able to copy something. There are performat PDP11 Processors
with no "Original" from DEC. They alo build an VAX Micro that was acting
like a VAX 750, something like this was never made by DEC.
I don't know why they copied the look of their boxes 1:1 but I'll bet you
will be not able to put a DEC card into the slots of that Machine, mostly
they copied the singals and ther order, but the pin distance is metric and
not imperial.
Boxes like the PSU will be totally different inside, but take a look into
the PSU, possibly you will find a Jumper oder soldering bridge that will
change the supply voltage to 110V.
About the 50 vs. 60Hz: that will be no problem but you will have for sure
Daytime Clock that will run away...
