I have an original switched outlet in my 1950s house. No ground, just wired with black and white wires in a sort of paper sheath. In the switch box the neutral into the box providing the power and the neutral from the box going to the outlet are connected with a wire nut and the hot wires are connected to the switch.
I want the outlet to have power all the time by eliminating the switch. Can I just take the hot wires off the switch and connect them together with a wire nut like the neutrals are and leave them in the box with the disconnected switch?
