I spotted this and think the resistor is an excellent idea.

By the way, I have quite a few old radios which were originally built with multiple primary winding taps and some sort of switch to select the voltage. It seems that 125V was always one of the choices, even back in the late 1920s.

The line voltage in my house also runs high. Maybe I should call the utility and tell them to change taps on the transformer out in the underground vault across the street. I have tested quite a few old utiltiy transformers for PCBs (deenergized!), and it seems that all of them have several taps to taylor the output voltage.
