Atwater Kent 55F
#2

A 25Hz radios work fine with 60Hz.
One thing to keep in mind: as the Mains frequency rises, the B+ voltage also does. So the very first capacitor after the rectifier needs to go down in value some to keep the voltage down or the radio will have to work at the increased B+ and this will make tubes run hotter.

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.
