I snagged a 3 prong socket out of an old computer power supply, and I removed the old 2-prong socket from the keyboard and installed the new one. I had to use a dremel to widen the area so that the new 3-prong socket would fit. Then I just soldiered the hot and neutral back to the new socket, and I soldiered a green wire to the socket ground and ran the other end of the green wire to a screw in the chassis.

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?
