You'll also need to take into account that device probably ran on 110, and we typically see 125 today.
I would never have considered that. Was that from the typical 60A fuse box service in the knob and tube days?

That was just line voltage in the 1950s. I'm sure there was a reason as to why it was turned up, but by the 1970s it was typically 122ish.
It's not a big deal for these devices, but the extra voltage can stress parts on the edge of failure.
