I still say this 110 volt line voltage idea is a myth, unless you are dealing with DC power grids, most radios from then were calculated around a working voltage of 117 volts at least as the line voltages could very between 105 and 125 volts. If the line voltage is 123 volts that's still a little high but 6 volts high not 13 volts high. Bring it down to around 115-117 and it will be fine.
