tl;dr: just use a power brick for your region and RGB SCART cables.
>electrical systems
If the console has an external power brick (which most retro consoles do) all you need to do is use a power brick made for your region with the same output voltage and plug.
>TVs?
This is trickier, but only slightly. European TVs generally have at least one RGB SCART port since, in 1980, France made it mandatory for TVs sold there to have one.
A PAL TV will display a 60hz signal without issue if sent through RGB SCART.
NTSC composite video will often display in black and white on a PAL TV, although I've heard some later high-end PAL CRTs display it properly.
Either way, if you were into imports you were likely also aware of these issues and probably got RGB SCART cables for your consoles.
