I'd appreciate some thoughts in general, and on

on using 50Hz DEC equipment on 60Hz power, since I've started
processsing and restoring a large quantity of DEC equipment I've
brought over from my UK storage to the USA:
It makes me bit nervous. Does any of it have settings for 50/60Hz?
Timing might be an issue.
I have one thought, what would it take to get/build a 60Hz to 50Hz
power converter that would give you the right frequency and voltages?
I used to work on a lot of computer equipment that required 400Hz
power, and prior to that I was an electrician and actually maintained
the power converters.
