Also, my house has an old 60 amp fuse box, & none of the outlets are grounded.

It might be a good idea to have an electrician check the earth ground for the electrical service.

Even though you do not have safety equipment grounds your electrical service is still connected to earth for lightning protection....

The earth connection could be broken (open), or badly corroded.
