Update on the mystery box

So I ripped one of those boxes open. There was a sheet of stainless steel on the bottom that was wedged in between the inside board and the steel case then folded back inside, basically sealing it. I managed to pry it open and here's what was in there

Those round things are all coiled copper so I'm just gonna pop em off and toss them in my motor bin, but the case itself looks like its gold plated... Anyone ever see anything like that?

Was that a telrad board?

not sure what a telrad board is

Telrad is a brand originally designed for the Israeli military [I was told that by a salesman so take it with a grain of salt]

did you have a thread about this same board just yesterday?

that stuff might be radioactive

if ya have not already tore apart that would be a good prop board would try and sell it for $25-30 first and hopefully its not radioactive lol

Usually covers over portions of an electronics card signifies it is dealing with radio frequency signals like microwaves. The metal box contains those radio signals so it doesn't cause interference with the other electronics outside of the cover.

A lot of the components look like they are copper coils...is that correct?

It isn't radioactive...at the very least you would have the warning symbols on the outside. Ever looked at the guts of a radioactive smoke detector? No question there, with all the warning tags!!
