RF Connectors gold plated?

Even with that, you could still cut the fingers and RF connectors and sell those separately ; )

Bear thank you for your replies! I'm in no hurry with selling boards, as I want to know more about them. Found this equipment earlier in the year (June). One of the warehouses was vacated by a company that repaired electronic devices, not your normal consumer items. I was amazed at what they left behind, filled two 14' stake bed trucks. I had to reduce this pretty fast, as needed space in my shop. I did all metal first (steel, stainless, aluminum, copper, brass). I then did the wire, removing connectors, lugs, plugs and receptacles. This has already been my best scrap endeavor. Was paid to remove it for starters, and maybe $800 on metal/wire. I still have (4 out of 6) lens/emitter assemblies, minus the plastic shrouds. I have all of the boards, hardware, connectors, pins to still process. The company that built this equipment, was Ohio Nuclear Inc. They changed name of company to Technicare in the 70's. This company pioneered some of the first whole body scanners. Not sure but, I think these were some of the first CT scanners (Computer Aided Tomography) ever built. A lot of the boards appear to be prototypes, with others being production boards. I have removed all of the plastic locking clips (bottom right of picture). Did this for ease of storage, placed in boxes and shevled for now (wanted protected). Also already removed any "plug in type" (not soldered) device, that had gold pins. Did this wearing anti-static ground strap, sorted IC's for now by number of pins and package type. The transistor's you see in picture all have gold pins and have been removed as of last week. Don't think they are transistors, as they have 8 pins? In picture I removed one of them, you can see 8 socket mounting base. These sockets appear to be gold as do all IC chip mounts. So these boards have a lot of gold! I have 2 Lbs. (+) of the transistor "like" devices. There is about 8 to 10 Lbs. of gold pin IC DIPP's. All of these are ceramic, having white, purple, grey, brown and black colors. Some have gold caps, EPROM gold windows, and double gold bodies (16 pin CerDIP). I'm thinking there is more value to collectors vice gold processors! I have checked on Ebay under "vintage IC chip" (sold listings). Some of mine have been sold in the $30 to $50 range for each chip (40 and 32 pins). Others have been listed with high prices (Ridiculous $$$/my opinion) but not sold. I notice most have fixed starting price, not being auctioned, but buy or make offer. Going to have to research more, take it slow and read more postings on forum. Definitely know I have real value here no and hurry to sell. Will post more pictures as soon as I can, got to figure out what I'm doing wrong with downloads and camera (zoom focus should be better).
