Of course. Back in the days of mono and tubes, the standard for high
quality
RCA cables was Switchcraft, and their cables had molded ends with stamped
contacts. In essence, what we call cheap junk today is similar or
identical
to the industry standard of 50 years ago. Ironically pehaps, some of that
so-called cheap junk may still be in service.

I found many of those connectors went black and gave very poor connections
decades ago.
I'd be surprised if any are still in service myself.
