    Green monitor board

    I scraped some monitors a few months ago, before I found this forum,

    the boards are green on both sides, I depopulated them for the small transformers, chokes, flyback transformers, IC chips, etc. the flybacks went in with my elct motors.

    my local yard is now taking circuit boards.

    the brown boards pay .07-.09 c per lb

    I am going to try and get more for these green/green boards, lots of copper patches showing through. I thought I might ask for dirty copper price.

    If I had not depopulated them, would they have graded higher than low grade?



    Thanks again for all the info

    some scrap buyers have a rate for capacitors

    are those areas around where the screws go thru gold plated? if so you can leave the board as is and include it with your motherboards/gold plated boards

    in my book any board with gold plating is high grade, but everyone has there own opinion about that

    I was wondering if the IC socket had gold pins or if their just tinned? I don't think they would be hi grade cause there is no ic chips and very few transistors, just capacitor heavy.

    I think it's low grade. There is no gold plating, no IC chips, and no transformers. So I don't know why it should be higer than low grade.
