Some people seem to think that all older wiring is bad. There is
likely nothing wrong with that armored cable (AC).

Most of the AC in the house is in very good condition and I was able to
get
a ground through the armor on almost all outlets. But for some reason the
armor is not grounded at this outlet and the two that come after it. The
section is grounded that you see in the picture so the ground is lost in
the
wall. Maybe the cable is damaged. The outlet is only a few inches above
that
so I just feel safer knowing that I'll have a good low resistance ground
with new romex.


Maybe the cable slipped out of the box clamp or connector. Have you looked
inside of the outlet box to see if there is armor showing? If not, you be
able to loosen the clamp and pull the cable and armor into the box.
