Default Rewiring an old projector - add an earth cable?

I'm going to rewire an old, old 35mm projector, a Picturol Model Q - one
of these:
https://img0.etsystatic.com/054/0/7703457/il_570xN.744183042_m3td.jpg.

It was wired with a two-core flex, but since the body is metal I wonder
whether it would be better to rewire it with three, earthing the metal
body.

The flex connects directly to the terminals of the lamp socket; if the
live connection were to work loose I could imagine it making contact
with the body of the projector.
