    I took apart some old POS systems with very similar results. 73, Mike

    This is an HP LaserJet 4 printer from the early 1990s (first is stock photo). A few nice boards and some heavy gold RAM inside.

    These boards came from a 3d Systems ThermoJet 3-d Printer. Wish I could've kept the whole thing to sell for parts or refurbishing but oh well, can't win them all. A lot of nice boards in this one which includes all the guts of a desktop computer in addition to a lot of other boards.

    It's great that you have time for printers. I'm sitting on about 13 pallets of them right now. Hoping China's National Sword thing doesn't mess up my plans. I'd ship them now, but in order to break even or maybe make a penny a pound, I have to include them in a FTL.

    I didn't see the low grade power supply board in your photo. If your shipping pallets, these can be profitable.

    Hope it works out for you and sooner rather than later! I should've taken the power board out too. Totally forgot. Taken off the side panels and popping those boards off I've found takes very little time and they're almost always some kind of mid-grade. So is worth the time for me. I pop the cartridges out too. Haven't shipped any out yet but gonna try one of the cartridge buyers and see what the return is like.

    I'm thinking of trying Dazz Cycle for cartridges. One thing interesting with them, they test stuff sent by individuals, but not schools, non profits, etc.. I may talk with my wife about setting something up for her daycare.

    These boards come from a busted Glory SDS-100 coin sorter I picked up this morning from an elementary school. Quite a few good boards here to go along with around 15lbs(!!!) insulated wire, about 5lbs aluminum, a few small motors and some 250-300lbs or so of tin. Content-wise it's somewhat analogous to a stand-up ATM except a LOT lighter (and without the keypad board). One of the pics includes a no socket motherboard which is pretty neat. And by the powerboard of grayskull this was a relatively heavy powerboard! And yes cleaned the batteries (the orange objects that could be confused with capacitors) off those two top boards.

    These boards came from a United Coin Machine video poker machine from the early 1990s.

    These boards are from a Paradigm Gaming system of some kind from the late 1990s. Didn't scrap this machine myself, got the boards from someone at the scrapyard so can't swear to what else is missing beyond the power board and monitor boards. In truth I can't even swear they all came out of the same machine but it looks about right.

    These are from a Knox Character Generator and the two keyboards that came with it. That first one weighs 2lbs, 5oz for those calculating prices for your own hunting.

    These are from an Olympus OEP-3 Color Video Printer. The power board weighs about exactly 2 lbs, the others combined about 1lb 7oz.

    This is a Hewlett Packard Model 54 Patient Monitoring System. Got a bunch of these recently. Board wise, Model 54 and Model 64 appear identical. All that I've taken apart thus far have the exact same set of boards. though there is capacity for a dozen more. The photos below have only the boards from the processing system, not the monitor (which has normal CRT boards, a disproportionately heavy degassing cable and yoke, a low-grade contact board for the buttons and one 3-4oz mid-grade board). Because of the quantity of telecom-high and the weight of the backplane board these were a pretty nice find. There are also some clean aluminum brackets on the bottom of each machine that total over 2lbs which is a nice little bonus.

    One mid grade and one telecom grade





    The backplane board is surprisingly heavy, over 1lb!





    The system has two of these super telecom boards highly populated on both sides. They're nearly identical but one has silver contacts and the other copper.





    2 more nice telecom grade boards





    One more telecom and a power board

    These are the boards from a Sony Cyber-shot digital camera. Anybody know how that little storage board with the gold fingers should be graded?

    This is Foundry Networks FastIron 2402 Edge Switch. They're not complicated to disassemble but are a little inconvenient and difficult to streamline, especially the power supply which is annoying even by power supply standards lol. Only on the fifth one did I get a time under ten minutes. The upside is the main board (looks like mid-grade high to me) is quite large and weighs 2lbs, 1oz.

    This is a Barracuda Networks BSF 400a Spam & Virus Firewall Appliance. Also came with two 500gb SATA drives and a small-ish power board. Am gonna try to sell the board for parts rather than scrap as the cost of the appliance is incredibly high and as scrap it's just small socket, non-green motherboard.

    This is a VisioWave Discovery 2400 DVR. Nice groups of boards in this one with the potential for many more if fitted with the full compliment. All the finger cards in this one are identical. Also has a large-ish power board, the size typical to elongated server power supplies.

    This is a Pelco System 9760 CM9760 Code Distribution Unit. Nothing really impressive here but super quick to scrap. A few screws to open up and a flathead screwdriver to pry the transformer off.

    What are you doing with your scrap power boards? Selling locally, partially stripping them and shipping? 73, Mike

    Just clipping the pigtail and shipping them off. Can't even get breakage price locally and if I strip them at all they'll be devalued and barely cover the shipping price. Not a lot of great power board options from here, at least not until I dramatically increase the volume.
