IC Chip Consensus

Still confused on what are on boards, but I guess I have a board that has what looks like gold transistors, it came from a 60's-70's model school record player. Is it possable that it is gold? What do y'all think?
The numbers on one of them is M112 4099A

Scrapdollar, those are mostly all transistors. An Integrated Circuit or IC chip is essentially a lot of that stuff on those boards squished into an IC chip.

Dherik, I appreciated that! You just made a light bulb go on in my head
