And a Nice Gold CPU from a Xerox Fierie Print server. The gold Centipede is from an OOOLLLDDDDD calculator. I think I might have a few more of those, but they're at the bottom of the box!!

Wow! Nice loot!
Those are beauties. Nothing brightens the day quite like gold. I've been trying to find old calculators at estate sales, but I haven't had any luck yet. That is exactly the sort of thing I've been looking for. I'm sure the guys and gals at CPU forum would love to see these pics.
I love the gold. I have to ask what camera are you using? I can take photos fairly close but not that clear, Mike.
Beautiful. I love that old gold ic stuff!
Just an iPhone 4s. Love the camera..I wish I'd used my instagram to take the pictures I could have added some cool effects too!Quote:

I cracked open all of the other calculators I have. that was the ONLY one with that type of chip! The others have chips of a similar shape, but black with silver feet, none like that one!
These gold centipedes, what are they considered?
It's an Integrated Circuit. It's an OOOOLLLDDD CPU but doesn't grade out that way. It's really more of a collectors piece, just need to find a collector to buy it!
