It is lowering the frequency you have to worry about; if the frequency goes up (and the core is capable of handling it, and with old power xfmrs those usually OK with it) you have an oversized XFMR, but this is it - it will do just fine at 60Hz.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
