I think the caps will need to be removed from the midgrade boards in order to get midgrade price for them, but i have a picky buyer.
I bought these receivers because they were old and I wanted to learn how to maximize scrap on older stuff in hopes that it would make scrapping new electronics easier. You actually answered two questions that I had without me asking. Thank you. I will be popping off the remaining IC chips soon, and I was wondering if the caps needed to be removed to make a board cleaner.
