The voltage here typically runs 125 or sometimes more...but I'm about 5 miles away from a TVA generating facility, John Sevier Steam plant. Light bulbs don't last very long here, unless you remember to get the 130V variety. One of my Boatanchors, the R-389, did NOT like the voltage at one place I lived, kept eating 6082 regulator tubes. 6082s are not quite made of Unobtanium, but close...-Sandy G.
