An exception would be a 'universal' or brushed motor such as used in vacuum cleaners, SkilSaws, hand drills etc. It would run on 25 or 60 cycle, or equally well on DC (that was before solid state speed controls on power tools).

Correct. A 25 cycle power xfmr will run very happily on 60 but
not vice-versa.

Many 25 Hz Canadian TVs would have an extra series choke.

That's not at all surprizing.
