This thread is to discuss pin pads. I believe they have a board in them that is as high of a grade as a cell phone, or at least the one I took apart today looks similar. If you have the ability to get them, they are easy to take apart and I believe the board is very high grade.
This is the unit I got today.

Hard to see but all that shiny stuff is gold plating, I can't figure out if the removable piece is a processor of some sort, or more of an encryption device.
Kinda looked like the small square piece was a guard of sorts over the processor area.(the little square chips)
Cute board.
Should have taken a picture of the other side but there is gold contacts where all the buttons were.
I give up on board grading i just want a live feed camera to someone at ARCOA to confirm what grades are what in their eyes. **** is screwy.
