Superlead/50JMP from Europe?

What's Hot
Hi guys,
potentially dumb question but il ask anyway. If I was to purchase an early 70s superlead or superbass or a 50 from Italy for example and import it back to the UK is there anything that I would need to change other than the plug? I’m pretty sure they all had 120/220/240 voltage selectors so that should be ok. Anything else that I’d need to be concerned with other than the usual checks when buying an old amp? 
Thanks

    I’ve seem some with 110,220,230v and some with 240/250 don’t know if it’s just the labelling.

    don’t forget there’s now 20%VAT

    The old ones should be the same, but it's likely to be pointless as they're more expensive over there usually.

    The guy is going to ship it over here as he’s now moved here and I won’t have to pay any shipping or import charges. So do you think it would be fine?

    Yes, if it's set to 240V and has all the other stuff done that you would want on an old JMP - Bulgin socket replaced with IEC (TAD vertical type), selectors replaced or hardwired, screen resistors fitted, filter caps and bias caps changed.
