    Gold pin IBM IC




    Sorry about the terrible pics, can't find the usb cable for my digital camera and had to use my phone.

    Has been a fair bit of talk about value of different ICs, figured I would add these to the mix since they are new to me. Each weigh 0.2oz, I have 25 of them. Pretty ugly when on the board, but when removed and you see that shimmer I find them a little prettier.

    I bought the board, apparently it came from a very old IBM word processor.

    there's usually a 4 digit number on those starting with a 4xxx which is that? the white and grey ones go for decent money to collectors depending on the number!
