    Electric Organ Board

    My partner was tearing apart an organ and he pulled out a couple of brown boards. He knows nothing about Ewaste so he handed them over to me. I know very little but enough to get me by. I've been reading looking for answers. I didn't find much except that since this particular board has gold plated items on it, some buyers might pay telecom.

    My other option put it on Ebay and try to sell it. That is what I read in another old thread. Or do I just strip the gold plated items and send the rest to lowgrade.

    Also another picture attached is of a capacitor. I think it may be Tantalum, Still trying to understand on how to determine if they are Ta caps. Also I must say my new Galaxy S4 takes some pretty good close ups for being a phone camera!

    As far as the ta cap , give it a squeeze with a pair of needle nose pliers , if it dents easily it is aluminum . If it puts up a fight it is most likely ta

    I did read that thread. I just thought that maybe someone would have an Idea if the whole board was worth some money.

    Did the organ work before it was dismantled ? Can you confirm the board works ? Do you know many people who refurbish organs ?
    Have any simillar sold on eBay ? We're those tested ?

    Actually we have a drop off trailer where people can throw there metal and old unwanted electronics and it was left in there. The Organ was all busted up so No to all of the above.

    We could guess all day long, but it would take you reaching out to some buyers to get an accurate answer.

    May want to look the board up. sometimes people will buy unknown boards because they fix them. Like pinball boards I sell up to a 100 a board untested....

    Look on Ebay under sold listings for the part numbers of those white ceramic eproms(not the correct term since those don't appear to be erasable, proms possibly?) w/gold caps. If no sales show up, check the current listings. Some of those are worth up to at least $85 each. Collectors want them and so do those that intend to re-use them.
