As to one's house line voltage, if you folks feel that your electric company will listen to you, by all means, call them. Nevertheless, if you think you might sell that nice Doomaflotchie 100 XL AC/DC, and you find you have to replace the dropping resistor, then go ahead and add enough extra resistance to take care of the modern 125 VAC standard. The next owner, who may have 127 VAC at their receptacles, will thank you. One man's opinion, that's all.
