So in the USA it's 60Hz, where here it's 50. Just converting the voltage would work I guess, but the frequency difference can cause different timing. I can't remember now where it's used though, if it is at all. Maybe does CIA use it? My assumption that NTSC C64s generated NTSC video signal and except 60Hz, and PAL ones except 50Hz, so not only the video signal and the PSU input AC voltage is the difference.
