Yes, its probably the high line voltage. My readings were taken at 115 V line. I always run my radios on a Variac, as I also have high line voltage. Its also less stressful on them to bring up the voltage slowly.
You can get an old 7.5 or 10 V filament transformer and connect the secondary out of phase with the line to buck the voltage and reduce it to 112-115 V. The radio will be much happier.
