Would need to see if ground wire or metal conduit was included in the circuit, if not then GFCI outlet/s will help some. Some of the old two prong outlets did have the box grounded. | |

| Apr 15, 2022 at 15:58 | comment | added | ratchet freak | is there (continuous) metal conduit from the panel to each receptacle? If so then you can upgrade the outlets to the 3 prong with no issue with a ground tail to the back of the box. | |
