I can't recall any issues with RCA printed circuits, at least those in the color chassis.

I recall bad connections on tube sockets that were tough to make right because of the oxidation, but I found that replacing the socket fixed it permanently. The copper itself was never a problem.

I do recall Philco circuits having the copper roll up like carpet as soon as a soldering iron touched it.
