Keypunch that was on eBay

I have won it, nobody else bid. After it has been shipped across the Atlantic I will have to think about converting it from 60Hz to 50Hz. I have the remains of a 50Hz verifier which has a 240v / 50Hz motor I should be able to use. Hopefully the rest runs on DC, so a step down transformer before the transformers and bridge rectifiers might be enough. Shipping costs more than the item of course. Anyone have any thoughts if it is worth trying the whole thing with just a 240 - 110 transformer? If the motor burns out, not the end of the world.
