What's involved in plugging an American Mac Plus into an
Australian 220 volt 50 cycle outlet?

You'll either need to have the power supply converted (can be done, but the
safer option would be to get the analog board replaced), or use an external
220V to 110V transformer. 50Hz/60Hz makes no difference.

Lots of pretty sparks and a power station meltdown? :-)
