I see that one conductor in the middle of the back row is heated up pretty nice. Luckily for me, there weren't many aluminium branch circuits installed in my area.

First one I've ever seen. Luckily, they're not that common around here either.

We have aluminum here, and tin coated copper. Be sure to check so that you don't write up the tin coating as solid aluminum, its easy to mistake them if you take a quick look.
