It was already restored, though I replaced a resistor to improve reception a little (a screen supply to the 6A8 and the IF tube drifted high, feeding too low a voltage and made local strong stations distort too much). It's happy with American 240V@60Hz, which I ran a special circuit from the breaker panel to a very old American made Aussie pattern outlet

If memory serves, you can easily run 50Hz equipment on 60Hz. The problems occur when you try to do it the other way around - the 60Hz transformer doesn't need to be as beefy for a given wattage, and is incapable of producing sufficient power at 50Hz.
