The lack of Dos Equis container in the first photo hurts. You could have pulled off one hell of a punchline.

Otherwise that's a fine looking set you have there, even if it has a name that should come in a plain brown wrapper.
While restoring it, you should be able to safely feed it 60hz power(at the appropriate voltage, obviously.), the transformers will just be a bit more efficient, and the filter caps have an easier time. The only reason you might not be able to is if it uses the line frequency to derive some sort of internal signal (vertical sweep?) I have no experience with CCIR, only some late-model PAL and SECAM multistandard stuff. I wish you the best of luck, and I think you'll find that the components are going to look more or less just like a US unit of that vintage. (Unless it uses soviet parts, at which point I wish you the
very best of luck in the endeavor!)
