    Is this gold or garbage?

    I have this 1980's era AT&T office phone board and the back looks like it is a low grade gold plating on the back of it, but it is pretty much covered. Can someone please tell me if they know what I am talking about. Also tell me how I can upload a photo here? First time using this. I can't add a link yet do not have the privilege to do so!

    If you scratch the tracings on the bottom side you will see the gold underneath. Board is considered mid grade. decent pricing would be from .75# to 1.00#

    From the boards I've seen I'm pretty sure if you scratch the tracings on the bottom side you are going to see copper not gold. It certainly would be a very high grade board if that was in fact gold on the back (which it isn't).

    Not only does Bear **** in the woods (well what else are you gonna do when fishing?!), but he has also mastered the space-time continuum, young grasshoppa!

    (it actually goes by what time zone you're posting from, in other words what time shows on each user's own screen. According to you was 3:51 (best smallblock EVAR btw, at least in Cleveland flavour), Bear had it at 2:51, and my apparently metric Canadian clock had it at 1:50).
