Autotransformers used to be sold in 1000W lumps often with USA outlets. I know I have got one they are too big and heavy for the task we are talking about here.
60Hz for record decks would be possible if a USA UIPS of the kind that runs all the time on float charged batteries could be found. Small home built units can also be made for record player motors.
Laminated transformers weigh in at about 1KG per 100VA.
Light weight units will destroy your radio.
