I had been running it with my Variac with it set at 110v, and discovered after measuring, that it was actually putting out 120v at the 110v setting. 
I decided to try running it on my step-down or bucking transformer, with outputs 108v. It seems to do OK on that, but still runs hot.
I did run it for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours last night for my annual Radio Show party, and it performed fine
, but still very warm.
The record changer and cabinet still need to undergo restoration, so I will probably do an even further investigation into the chassis to make sure I didn't miss something.
I do have a 1936 Philco 116B Early version tombstone, but it also needs a proper servicing. Once it is done, I can run both and compare performance, voltages and heat differences.
