Okay, so I've gutted about 15 TV's. The copper is obvious, but what about these circuit boards? My research says that some places (http://www.boardsort.com) will buy low-grade circuit boards and that these are considered low-grade. Are there any other circuit boards considered as low-grade?...telephone pcbs, microwave pcb, etc?



Also, am I doing myself a favor or ruining the circuit board by dismembering it? I was having so much fun with them that I only left one fully intact I took off:
  • copper inductors and transformers
  • aluminum heat sinks and plates where the transistors are connected
  • steel plates (just because I didn't think circuit board buyers would want any steel)
  • and those tall black electric motors
  • any vcr or dvd mechanisms

The reason why I ask is because some of these components do not come off easily. The circuit boards break apart. Will someone who buys low-grade circuit boards take them broken?
