+1 on Gary's comments. At best, there will be a loud hum due to failure of the electrolytics. At worst, shorted caps will burn out tubes and transformer.
The turntable is a BSR, a British make that did make it to the US in some US built radio - phono combos. Problem is that records will play faster and at a higher pitch, as the turntable is designed for 50 Hz operation and the motor will run faster. Some BSRs may have had an adaptor that was removed for 60 Hz operation.
Currently, there are no long wave stations in the US. There were a lot of long wave stations having to do with navigation until the 70s (I guess.)
