re: Electrical wiring issue - outlet reads 120V but not getting full power

If the run is short (no v drop issues) you must have some sort of resistance in the line somewhere, be it from a bad or loose termination, or from a corroded wire. Both of these can cause a lot of heat wherever they occur, so don't ignore the issue.
Since you have the voltage at the outlet, your next course of action is to check whatever connections you can, all the way back to the panel. The connections at the old fuses are a good place to start.

Am I concerned about the run from that old time switch to the garage or from the incoming power fuse box to the garage? Because if it's the latter, the run could easily be 60'.
And here are the 3 fuse boxes that handle everything. Not exactly sure where the garage power is controlled as following the wiring can be a bit tricky and the labels are all jacked up:
