Someone throw me a bone here. How does a GFCI work if there is no ground connection? The plugs like this I have taken appart only have a thermal switch that will trip like a circuit breaker. Some had two contacts to break line and neutral. Since a GFCI senses current in the ground wire you would have to have a 3 conductor plug. I thought. You would be surprised how many people come in the store and spend a lot of money on surge protectors then use a cheap adaptor to plug it into a 2 prong outlet. I agree if you need GFCI protection I would install the outlet, or a GFCI circuit breaker . Anyone comfortable working on a vintage tv should have no problem.
