Wondering if anyone knows if there's transformers or some type of devices that can change 60 Hz current into 50 Hz?

There most definitely are. You requre such devices (in reverse of course 50 Hz to 60 Hz) when you go to a foriegn country, mainly in Europe, to use your electrical appliances.

Yes there are and they called frequency converter.
But they are much more expensive than transformers.
The best thing you can do is remove the 60 Hz transformer and use a suitable 50 Hz transformer for your appliance.

maximum possibly however the biggest proscribing element is to verify that the enter voltage would not exceed that stamped on the score plate. If the enter voltage exceeds that value then you definately are transforming into an insulation breakdown. As invoice says you will no longer attain the flexibility output given on the score plate.

What you are looking for is called a frequency converter. They are quite a bit more complex than a transformer.

A trasnsformer, changes oly voltage levels... not frequency. Frequency converters are available however.!
