Not a juiceatrician, but should be OK, Your house is likely less than 120, Usually anywhere between 110/117. Might get a Multi V meter and check it.

not an electrician, I am an electronics technician ,110 is what they used to call normal wall power or grid power now it is called 120 it is likely someplace between the two and it will be just fine wound motors are every forgiving
I also had a similar singer and it worked just fine on current ac US grid power
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I also had a similar singer and it worked just fine on current ac US grid power I've noticed that 110 is no longer 110 or 220 is still 220. Everything new is 120 or 240. I wondered what was up with that.

I wondered what was up with that. it hasn't been 110 since before I got my first meter in about 1989 not sure it ever was I think 110 was a minimum acceptable and then the nomenclature turned to max expected 109 and below is starting a brown out condition 114-117 is very common I see up to about 123 at times

High voltage is better than low voltage. I deal with a ton of 480 volt 3 phase motors and want 490-500 rather than 470 volts

Voltage should be within 10% of the motor's rating. Motor having a range of acceptable voltage is weird today but... Motor rated at 110V > 10% is 11V > could run on 110V +11V = 121V. I'd go for it.

Anyone notice that motor is also DC ? I was wondering the same thing. Not sure I’ve seen that before and trying to think it through.

Anyone notice that motor is also DC ? Did a little research . NOT a battery power also. It has to do how the electronics deliver the power inside of the motor.
