It's really that simple? I have some PAL
(presumably)
units on their way here from OZ. I'd be elated to find
out that all I'd need to do is tweak the monitor.
For monochrome composite video, or separate RGB (wheter TTL or analogue),
then yes, all you should beed to do is tweak the monitor. The horizontal
frequencies are close enough that it will proabably sync anyway, if not,
then a touch on the horizontal frequncy control (maybe an inductor) will
do it. The vertical hold control will probably need re-adjusting, but
that's all.
Of course if the units output PAL colour composite video it's a bit
harder. Feeding that into an NTSC monitor (even after the above tweaks)
will get you monochrom output. I've seen NTSC-PAL converters (simple
colour system converters, they don't change the scan rates), I assume the
reverse exist too. Maybe that would do the trick.
If you have the origianl PAL monitors, it should be easy to get them to
work on different mains voltages. AFAIK no small monitor cares about
mains freqeuncy, the vertical deflection is not locked to the mains or
anything like that.
