The motor is synchronous (whereas I am not you know) which means it is in phase with 60 cycles AC mains. My guess is that it would either run faster/slower or not at all. If you are concerned about damaging it, why don't you short it out of the circuit, isolating it or completely removing it while bringing the radio up? I've never done that (using a variac) but having a 475 Musaphonic of that year and having looked in there it's just common stuff you could easily replace, Your set is even the same color as mine!
