I have been getting alot of these older boards lately HELP

Just because a board is old doesnt mean that it needed Pms to protect it. The lack of traces gave it away and unless you did a test on the connectors it would be low grade. most the time its just solder. Only in gold plating is board thickness a factor.

I had a couple of small ones with gold traces and pins and my last buyer called them low grade simply because they were tan colored. So I threw them back in the car and brought them home for now. No way they were gonna pay me .12-15 lb for gold pins and traces.
