They quit using aluminum inside of houses years ago. Not real sure how long
they did allow it but it wasn't for a very long period of time back in the 60's.

Unfortunately, my parent's house, which was built in the mid-60s, has
all aluminum internal wiring. The dining room has started to fail in
parts, the light switch to the ceiling lights doesn't work anymore, I
ran an extension plug for the lights to an independent outlet so my
mother can get light but really, the whole house needs to be
completely rewired with copper.

I'm just afraid that I'll get tapped for the job if I suggest it.
