    Smile Some Interesting Boards


    This is one part of a pair of boards from a video on demand system I received from a major television and Internet company that shall go nameless for security purposes. I am sure that someone will be able to guess who they are; I will only say that their hotspots can be found everywhere.


    And here is the second half of the board. These gold ones sold, as scrap, for over $50 total. The silver ones above were similarly priced for their grade. I hope to get more of these in the future!

    What was the rate per pound on the bottom ones? I was quoted around 5-6/lb.

    I will post it sometime this afternoon, eastern time. I need to go look it up because I can't quite remember off the top of my head.

    Ok. So after reviewing my receipt, I have determined that these went for a lower-grade telecom price of 3.90/lb. Not bad for what they had on them. Just some multi-layer silver, 2 large tantalum caps, and a couple high-grade chips. I was happy with that price, as well as factoring in the reason that I wanted to get it all out ASAP, so I went with it. But the gold ones went for over $5/lb. so that was a great make up- higher than I would have guessed. But it was a nice haul though. Hoping to get lots more sometime!

    It wasn't completely gold plated on the bottom. I still kept one of each of these because they looked so cool, and I'll post a bottom pic of each of them later this afternoon. But the bottom of the gold ones had some extensive gold plating in various places, but not the whole thing. It was clearly a multi-layer board with gold on each layer because I cut one corner off one of the ones I sent in and it had gold on all the visible layers. Judging by that, I assume the silver one is the same way.
