But I wouldn't run any current through those old wires. I have a hard time believing people still use wires that aren't properly grounded, let alone run anything where water is an issue without GFI.
The hardest thing I had to do lately was sawzall through a 2-inch thick mahogany floor for heating registers. It hurt my soul.

I hated working with that sort of wiring. In one place, a house about
100 years old or so, it had the very old style of wiring - 3 separate
bare wires on the knob and tubes.These wires were set directly into
the plaster - the place was all ancient lathe and plaster - harder
than stone at that point. The owners finally decided it would be
cheaper to gut the place entirely and put in all new wiring etc.
