Old video games consoles could be affected too, it’s known for instance that Japanese (NTSC-J) Saturn games run slower on European consoles (PAL), as the games designed for Japan’s 60Hz grid run at 50Hz in Europe.
Comment on Does the 50Hz & 60Hz difference matter at all or not?

Generally, you won’t ruin it. Modern stuff with switching power supplies like laptops handle the difference automatically. Old motor-driven devices like record players may speed up or slow down depending on their rating, and large AC motors might heat up slightly.

This answer right here. Additionally, things that use the frequency for timing such as clocks may operate faster or slower than intended depending on which way they are being converted.
