If by old 50 Hz at 120 volts the set will be happy with 60 Hz as is. If by old 50 Hz at 230 volts then the use of a transformer to step 120 up to 230-240 will do the trick. Can be installed in set if there is room or placed in a electrical box and the set plugged into the box. Just make sure if using the electrical box set up to change the plug to something used on 240 volt equipment.  David
