First old telephone answering machine fax. Do I pass the test?

Read everything I could find on here and looked at all the pretty pictures and then gave it a go.

So oh Guru's of Scrap.

Do I pass the test?

Item: Panasonic Model KX-F1200 Telephone Answering System with Facsimile

All wires sorted according to my yard's version of #2 and #3 insulated.

All plastic tossed in the "later" barrel.

Metal to the shred barrel.

Almost new roll of film posted on ebay at a big discount, but still a nice little chunk of change.

Shiny metal rods set aside for future ebay listing.



Which brings us to the Mystery of the Boards and if I have learned what I think I have. Would be great if a Guru or two would chime in and let me know if my sort seem right or if I have it fouled up.

Low Graded to pick clean of Copper and a bit of AL:



Mid Grade to send away:



Memory/Gold Fingers to send away:




Thanks for all the great advice and information we have found here. The wife jokes and tells the kids "Daddy is at school" when I get engrossed in reading the threads

looks like a good sort, pics of the boards didnt come through though

Woodsie, you need a few more posts before adding links or pictures, it's just a safety feature.

Well, Hi there. Say hi back to me, and you will be one post closer.

Florida here as well.

Most of those I open up (at nite) have gold plating on one side of the button at least. Goes in a OMG bottle.

However, according to my rough calculations it will take 30,000 to 40,000 of those little discs to equal one ounce.

Man you sure burst my bubble.
