I would not bother. You are well within the"normal" line voltage range.
I read far too much about people worrying about line voltage. After all do we worry about our fridge or expensive flat screen TVs blowing up? I have dozens of old radios on my high line voltage and never lost a single one.
That's a beautiful model by the way.
