Adding a 3 prong plug to vintage synth?

2010-03-28 by plastikanimal

Anyone know how to do this safely? 
If the ground wire is going to the metal case, can it be connected to the third prong instead?
Would this cause a ground loop or some other problem?

I ask because my JX-8P needs a new plug installed. I was thinking of "upgrading" it to modern standards.

Good idea or bad?
