Got a new (to me) older audio stack. Not used to some of the earlier electronics conventions.

The system has two pronged cords, and has external grounding. How much danger am I looking at here? I'm not 100% certain how to use it properly.

If you are worried about grounding the system, and don't mind cutting the cord/ crimping stuff, you could get a 3 prong cord from the hardware store and screw the ground into the box via a case screw on the back.
