    Need help identifying these boards

    I have about 1500lbs of these boards and am not sure what type of grade they will be classified as. They are out of Medical equipment from 92-2000. some are from the 80's.

    If you have the time I would pull/desolder the gold top ceramic and sell the boards and CPU separated. The boards will still be Telecom grade and You will have pounds of CPU's at $60.00+ a pound.

    Ok, I have now started drooling.... and at 1500 pounds !!!!! I do believe I would take a very comfy vacation from that kind of score AND have enough money to cover my bills for the month.

    I have a board that looks just like the 7th one down. The eproms come off with a screwdriver if i wanted to. I'm trying to remember older posts about them...would it be to my advantage to take them off and sell separately or just leave them on the board and hope my buyer pays me accordingly? (I dont have a buyer yet figured out, because i'm waiting to see the next price list before i ship, but i will be selling to smf member).

    $60.00 is kind of low I'm seeing $100-135 /lb for the gold tops and the weiteck.
    We buy electronic scrap, Gold Karat scrap, gold filled, refined gold, silver and many other item's.

    I was pretty bored with the first picture, but then I started drooling as I scrolled down.

    I agree that 60.00 is low but with out seeing all the chips and sorting them myself I would always start with the low side. I was using the misc gold cap price from your site but I hit the wrong key. I try to base what I buy on what I can get as a return. I always see gold cap chip with about 5.00 in gold @1700.00 spot. I know they may contain more but it keeps me safe.

    Thanks for the responses. I understand that the first board would be low grade of some sort, but would all the rest be telecom grade? I haven't bought the boards yet but I can get them for about $2,000-$2,500.

    If there is 1500lbs and you can get them for $2000 to $2500 your in at roughly $1.25 a lb. You would get $3 to $6+ a lb from the buyers on the forum. I probably would not even waste my time with the boards in the first picture unless it was a take all or nothing sort of deal.

    The first board looks like the power supply/management board. Take them all and run.
