Incorrect. Proper connections were made back in the 1960s and 70s. They failed.
They aren't proper now. What's proper now is using the correct modern connectors. And with the proper connectors there is no reason to rip out all of the wiring like the poster I was replying to stated.

Technically what is proper now is not using aluminum for new small circuits as it is against code. That was my point. Is there ways to make it safer without full replacement? Yes.
Would I personally as an electrical engineer who designs electrical systems for a living want to use the adapters in my home? No.
