41-610 High plate and grid voltages
#4

+1 what Mike (morzh) said, plus:

Today's line (AC) voltages are generally higher now than they were in 1941. Back then, 110 to 115 volts was the norm. Now, 125 or even as high as 127-128 (depending upon location) is considered "normal".

Higher AC line voltages, combined with voltmeters with higher input impedances, both contribute to higher voltage readings compared to the measurements taken when the set was new.

Oh, and also check what Terry (Radioroslyn) suggested.
