Purchased a house built in 1960. Still going through the electrical, but discovered it to be mostly updated with some old cloth NM cable still used on a few circuits, mostly in the bedrooms. 2 prong receptacles are still in use, but they are old and I'd like to update them.
Easiest thing to do for short term is new 2-prong receptacles. Long term, i'd like to replace them with 3-prong receptacles.
I've been trying to explore routes to run new cable, but discovered the NM cable they are using is the reduced ground variety. In some locations, someone has pulled the EGC into the box and wired it up as you would expect it to be today.
