I would like to buy an amiga, use it here for a while and take it to
India where it is 220V/50Hz. Local dealers say I can't do that. 
I can agree that I would have to buy a new monitor there. But does
amiga not have a power supply switchable between 220(50hz)V and 
110(60Hz) ? 

Can somebody help me on this ?

-thanks in advance.

You could use a stepdown transformer to lower 220V/50Hz to 110V/50Hz.
I think most monitors will work on either 60 or 50 Hz, so that should
not be a problem.
