Looks like a sticker not a stamp. You can put sickers on anything

[theelectronrecycler]

Thats not what I said. I did however imply it

[mikeinreco]

It was a very old machine.......I guess we will never know as I have already packed it away in another package.....LOL

There are companies in the USA that make circuit boards, just becuase it does not say it's made in the USA doesn't mean that it wasn't made in the USA. Yes there are alot of things made in the USA. Why do you need to know where the board was made, what diffrance dose it make?

I just thought it was interesting with all this talk of "Foreign" boards not being worth much.....I knew I had the "REAL McCOY!!!

I think the joking part of this thread got takin all out of context.

[mikeinreco]

Yeah I have a weird sense of humor sometimes

My sense of humor is a little strange sometimes.........The whole thread was supposed to be a joke

Depends on the buyer but my buyer would buy that as high grade. The price of the board is not determend on where the board is made it's the amount of pm's on the board, the newer ones have less gold. The best thing to do is look for a date, if it's made before 2000 it should be worth more than one made after 2000. I'm not an expert by any means but that's how I understand it, if I wrong I'm sure someone will correct me.

Mainframe I did recently was stamped "Built in the USA with parts built in" and they listed a bunch of countries. Some parts were built in the USA as well, the combination of standard and metric nuts kept me guessing.

I got it Mike...Pulled some boards from some apple imac g3 and all the boards were marked made in usa also which I found interesting since everything by apple is in the far east now. Might want to dig it out of the box and save it. Might not see that again.

I got the joke right away. I have seen some that said made in USA older stuff.
