50Hz linear power supplies need larger filter and doubler caps than 60Hz supplies do.

There are options for getting 60Hz in 50Hz countries...Perhaps the most straight forward is to buy a US market automotive power inverter (12VDC to 120V 60Hz) off the internet and locally buy a beefy 12V supply....Another option if you know people that work in industrial electronics is to get an old used VFD (variable frequency motor drive) and set its output to 60Hz.
Small gasoline generators and dynamotors are also options but probably harder to obtain.
