    Telecom boards with gold-capped CPU's on board Value?

    Hey guys,



    I've been taking apart some racks of telecom equipment I've had for some time. I pulled these boards and would like to know what they are worth. I've taken apart several racks and have at least 20 of the double gold-capped CPU boards. The boards have a steel back plate and end piece. The boards weigh just over 10 oz each and the back plates weigh just over 6 oz. I know they are telecom, but am wondering if I could get better prices by pulling off the CPU's to sell at a gold-capped price and thereby devaluing the whole board. Also, if I leave the boards intact, should I take the time to remove the back plates? Either way, I'm going to come out great on this one. I got these in a load of towers and didn't know what was in them until I opened them. I still have several to take apart and may get more of these boards or just more regular telecom boards. Thanks for any input guys. PS.... anyone know where to sell telecom power supply boards that slide into the racks?
