what other cpu's and valuable chips should i be looking for in the very old boards

thank you everyone in advance

Glad you asked. I always look at scrapping as the last resort. Much better if you can sell as collectible or for reuse. Some resources that I know of that may be of help.

Here's a wanted list of various old chips/cpus with some descriptions
