Is this the legendary "dlp gold chip" tv?
If so, what do I do next??
Not clear, but, the really good ones are marked 386/486, or Pentium pro. tho the other gold caps and double gold caps are premium also. Don't get caught up in gold fever, (IT IS REAL),l chips and pins no longer have the value or mistique they once had.
Here's a couple close ups:Quote:

It's a nice find, but if a buyer were paying 35.00$ / lb it would be worth 3.50 $
Picked up a Pentium ceramic the other day that weighs 4/100 ths of a pound. At 32.00$/lb it's worth about 1.28 $
It's not like .... OMG I STRUCK GOLD ! :-o
I still get excited everytime cause its more money than I planned on getting as a surprise to my wallet and I have everything broken down in a chart for all processors by $per gram and also my ebay charts that I track current values so I can say boom resale or scrap and know what money is going to rain baby lol
I googled it of course shop jimmy came up with it first place. Actually a good idea they must recycle all the media type ewaste and realize we all getting shafted on this stuff selling as scrap.
WHat I wonder is do they actually pull it all and catalog and stock or just have a warehouse of lcd and tvs waiting for a customer order then pull the part.
Money is in this you guys. I cant see this chip having much gold in it. Well recoverable gold. Since al/cu frames and no more bond wires wheres the beef!
