It's unlikely that the clock is sinced to the line. If the power supply is analog with a conventional iron core transformer it may have a tendency to over heat. In some cases the transformer may be designed for the Japanese market which is a mix of voltages and frequencys. in this case it may actually be rated for 50/60 Hz but be marked 60 Hz for the US market. The lower the operating frequency the more iron is required for efficient operation. I had just this problem many years ago when I lived in Morocco which is 120 V 50 Hz. residential power. One solution would be to acquire a replacement 50 Hz power supply locally, or install a switcher now.
