It may not work. Transformers are designed with a ET value. That is
the input voltage times the time is what determines the max flux
density. With 50 hz the time of one half cycle is more than the time
of a 60 hz half cycle. So a transformer used at the same input
voltage will reach a higher flux density on 50 hz power than on 60 hz
power. And depending on the design it may start to saturate the
core.
