old lcd displays

Hey all. A couple days ago there was a discussion about old office phones, and I chimed in saying some of those old lcd displays had gold value, and that I would post some pics when I got a chance. I didn't have any phones, but pulled a display from an old fax, and an old laser printer.



The basic displays:


The backs of them. Gold can already be seen on the back of the fax board:


The boards broken down:


Close up of the printer gold. The connector has gold, and that ribbon cable has gold. I'll try and chemically strip that ribbon latter to see if it's gold all the way.


And a couple close ups of the fax display.
