1920's??? Do you have copper cold water pipes in the basement? If you do, you might want to try the cold water pipe as your ground if all your looking to do is filter some noise from your system. Clean the pipe off with some Caig Progold 100% solution. Apply the Progold and leave it on for a good 5 minutes...then add a second coat. Now take a steel wool pad and scrub the area clean. You should be able to achieve a mirror finish. Now clean wool residue off of the pipe. Place the copper wire (12 AWG stranded is fine) under the ground clamp so the wire is placed in between the clamp and pipe. Tighten the clamp but not to the point that you crack the pipe. The cold water pipe will do a good job for your a/v system. You may also want to consider hiring an electrician to come in and re-wire the house to bring it up to local code.
