The voltage at my house regularly runs around 125 volts, with occasional peaks at 126.
That having been said, if your Emud's transformer became that hot, it must have an issue such as shorted turns in a winding.
I remember about six years ago, I had finished recapping a radio and was trying it out. I let it play on my workbench while I did something else in the basement. After awhile, I happened to glance over at the radio and it was smoking like crazy.
The power transformer had died the death. And, wow, was it ever HOT...but, mind you, it was still playing!
