    Question Are these boards worth anything ?

    Not a e scrapper but ended up with some boards not for sure what I got here, what I'm sure of is they are old and industrial. Any input is greatly appreciated. [IMG][/IMG]

    one and two I would grade at motherboard to finger card grade @ $3.75 per lb. The rest are mid grade(with the heat sinks removed) @ around $2.00 per lb. Contact us by pm if you're interested in selling a quantity of these.

    I've got about 10 of the boards like the ones in your first picture and 3 more "things" to take apart that were part of the set. Mine came from some type of old equipment. The equipment itself is all aluminum inside and out and has those types of boards. Actually if you looked at one of the really old super computers where the things slide out like drawers.... they're that type. Have no clue if that made sense.

    Is there a screen on what you have that looks like on old radar screen. If it does you may have an oscilloscope. They are worth way more than scrap value sold whole,working or not.

    Tater a month or so ago I took apart an oscilloscope that had a block of those Motorola transistors on them. They can go for a few bucks each. If you go to search box and type in oscilloscope my post is the second one on there with pics. Take alook at some of the boards I pulled they look a lot like yours. I got telecom grade for them $5.00#. The reason I got that was because the boards were plated with gold. You and auntie should try to peel back a corner of the green sheeting? and see if there is gold underneath. Sorry I don't know how to cut and paste on my iPad.

    Okay this is one of the piece I have except mine is fully intact. There are 4 more pieces bigger than this one I'm guessing they go along with it. Seems it's radio equipment or something. One I already tore down and thought there were 3 left, guess I was wrong.... So maybe whatever it is could be worth a few bucks.

    That guy has it listed for 425 missing parts and not working. I would put one up and see if yours rates better than is. Hell he might buy yours to restore is..lol
