I don't know what you mean by 2-to-1 power transformer but it doesn't sound 
like it would also convert 50Hz to 60Hz.  Note that with an A500, that should 
not matter because the A500 power supply does not pass the line tick - all
timing in the A500 is generated by the internal clock chip.
With an A1000 or A2000, some of the system timing is set based on the line
tick (the system time-of-day clock I think).  That may be OK.  Not sure.

Here are the part numbers that make PAL and NTSC Amigas different.
Don't ask me how to get them.  We import a very small supply of the Agni
and clock chips only, for purchase by registered Amiga developers only.
We do not stock foreign power supplies at all in the US.

If you are moving abroad, you will have to purchase the parts you need
when you get there.  You should be able to order them through an Amiga
dealer or service center.  

Note - in the following list A2000 = original German A2000 (not sold in US)
                             B2000 = US A2000 (with square "fat" Agnus)

                         A1000        A2000        A500         B2000
