Thanks,

 The thickness of the iron core, 25 cycle transformers have more laminations to prevent core saturation with the lower line frequency. The values of the original filter caps might be higher in microfarads then in a 60 cycle set to deal with the 25 cycle ripple, but having larger cap values won't hurt anything for 60 cps.
