You can run the 50Hz transformer on a 60Hz supply. Now since the frequency has changed the only variable thing in the existing transformer that can change (assuming simple one input and one output) is the flux density. In its simple form we are operating the transformer (60Hz/50Hz = 1.2) at 20% lower flux density.
If the things were reversed the flux density would be 20% higher and may saturate depending on design. You can even run the transformer at 400Hz providing that the volta ...
