[GreenKeys] 35-KSR - 50Hz gears

[drlegendre .]

Is the shaft speed of the AC synchronous motor the only significant
roadblock to running a KSR 35 on 50 Hz mains? I'd think that the various
solenoids & relays would be OK with only stepped-down voltage.

If that's the core issue, a (200W ?) 60 Hz inverter could be rigged up to
run the motor alone, with everything else running off 120V 50Hz power.

Interested to learn more about it..
