Hi,
The last problem might be not that big...
I`ve heard, that some audio-fools use this way to solve the 60 Hz problem on this side of the Atlantic:
They use a 50 Hz generator (a common adjustable Sinus-generator like the average Joe repairman owns)
and an adjustable safety power transformer (connected backwards).
The power consumption of a VCR is not high.
I have never tested it on my own, but it sounds good.
I had the same 60 Hz problem with my Marantz SLT 12 record player.
But I don´t like too much electronic boxes hanging around.
Solution was, that a company made me a new pulley.
The pre-owner of my Marantz used the record player always playing too slow.
It was a private import from NY/NY when the record player was new in the early 60s.
Only a 220/117 Volts transformer was added in the states.
So changing the pulley is another option.
