Power supply tolerances of plus or minus .1 volts are actually fairly common.
On an 11/70 I once ran, the +5 supplies had to be within .05 volts or
the machine simply didn't run, and this applies to ALL the +5 supplies,
of which there were at least 10 pots to be tweeked.  So, while that
requirements seems stringent, modern supplies can maintain the tolerance
fairly easily, and the requirement itself isn't that uncommon.
