If that is your worst nightmares you live a charmed life!!! Don't work yourself up into a panic it's easy. The set will play with out a gnd but the volume control won't work properly( you won't be able to turn the volume down completely). It will receive better with it than without it. Just for laughs turn the volume all the way up set unplugged from the wall and measure the resistance across the ANT and GND terminals. Should read a few ohms. if not guess what???
