Reproduco Piano-organ Power Consumption

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.
