A technical question about clock radios
A technical question for those electronic experts out there. I know this sounds odd, but here it goes.
I am importing a retro clock radio from the USA (typical red LED type display) and naturally I'll need to look for a substitute transformer as it was designed to run on 120VAC.
My question relates to the power frequency. If I'm fortunate enough to locate a transformer with the correct voltage outputs, will it run correctly on 50Hz? Does the AC source frequency have any bearing on the clock function?
No point me acquiring it if it is going to run fast/slow.
