Do you use Persil In Your Wash?

Would it be possible to run one of these washers in North America on 240V 60Hz instead of the UK 50Hz? It would bring up the pulsator and spin speed to 900 RPM from 750 RPM, which should be okay as long as bearings etc. can handle it, and the tumble speed would go up to 56.4 RPM from 47 RPM, which might affect the washing performance somewhat. Per the link below, the motor _should_ be able to handle running at 60Hz, and the heating element shouldn't mind. The only issue that I can think of that might be a problem is with the timer-it would run faster and thus shorten the program lengths.
Of course the shipping charges to get one across the ocean would be extremely high.

Mike great vid!
thanks for the close up on the later Keymatic! Love seeing the guts of the thing. That is one huge detergent dispenser!
I remember those schematics of the timer sequence from your stash of service literature when I was there.
Still an amazing timer system!!
Thanks!!!
