Hi all - new new new here.
I have been lurking here for a couple of weeks now. Trying to learn a little.
I am not a buyer - and I am not really a scrapper. Tho my garage is full of it.. LOL
I am helping a friend scrap some NC / CNC (Numerical Control / Computer Numerical Control) machine tool controls at his plant. I need to find out what the circuit boards are worth and the best place / method to get the most money for them.. These boards are from the mid 60's to the mid 70's. The majority of the boards have large gold traces on the component side - a few even have gold traces on the solder side. We also have some connectors in the collection. They all appear to have a large gold plate content compared to computer boards built since the 90's. There are also some connectors (both pin and finger style) in the collection.
I am posting photos of some of the parts and boards.
Any info and help will be appreciated.
TIA
Jim
Hope these images show up..!
Some photos. I have many more and will be tearing down 4 more controls that are different than these. In the future I will probably just post a clickable link instead of consuming bandwidth to image the photos here.
They did not - I will figure it out and add them later.
Well - it is "later". Here goes:
