Reproduco Piano-organ Power Consumption
By Peter Neilson

> Ray took measurements of the power and motor temperature (both
> motors are rated for operation at 110 VAC).

Does anyone know if there is a problem in running 110-volt motor
equipment at 120 volts?  Yes, it's only a 9% overvoltage, but that
could result (if my estimate is correct) into as much as an 18%
increase in power consumption, with possible consequent premature
failure.  I'd use a Variac.
