This would suffice to run the PSU from 50Vac...
You could even leave the E-cap on the board, just add 2x E-cap and 2x diode, and replace the bridge rectifier.
Since the ripple in a voltage doubler results in half 2x half rectification, the ripple changes from 100Hz to 50Hz. Meaning that leaving the original e-cap on the board may be very useful.
After breadboard testing it, you can also make a PCB that holds the voltage doubler, and leave a more professional impression to the customers.
