I recently won a few lots at an auction that contained tons of Audio/Video equipment, evidently the person used to produce films back in the 80's and 90's. I have asked on a Film Production forum if anything would be of value but was told it was way too out dated. I've checked ebay and although people are listing the items for high prices, none have sold. Anyways, I have come to the conclusion that I will be scrapping everything. My question is has anyone had any experience this this stuff? There are several circuit boards in each of the Video recorders/editors that seem to be custom made for different things, they are loaded with IC chips, does this make them telecom or do they have to actually come from telecommunication equipment to be telecom boards? I would post a picture if I could figure it out...I will be studying that next and will post when I get it figured out.
