Not a e scrapper but ended up with some boards not for sure what I got here, what I'm sure of is they are old and industrial. Any input is greatly appreciated. [IMG]http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/...3/06921de3.jpg[/IMG]

Several of these have northern telecom printed on them if that helps any
Yes sir they are. Gold on the ends, and could tell its old from the heat sinks
Old but worth anything ?
one and two I would grade at motherboard to finger card grade @ $3.75 per lb. The rest are mid grade(with the heat sinks removed) @ around $2.00 per lb. Contact us by pm if you're interested in selling a quantity of these.
I've got about 10 of the boards like the ones in your first picture and 3 more "things" to take apart that were part of the set. Mine came from some type of old equipment. The equipment itself is all aluminum inside and out and has those types of boards. Actually if you looked at one of the really old super computers where the things slide out like drawers.... they're that type. Have no clue if that made sense.
I'm Smelling what your stepping it
So I need to remove the al heat sinks ? I'm sorry if that's a dumb question, I
As green as they come when it comes to e scrap. What else needs done to get these boards ready ?
Is there a screen on what you have that looks like on old radar screen. If it does you may have an oscilloscope. They are worth way more than scrap value sold whole,working or not.Quote:

I got telecom grade for them $5.00#. The reason I got that was because the boards were plated with gold. You and auntie should try to peel back a corner of the green sheeting? and see if there is gold underneath. Sorry I don't know how to cut and paste on my iPad.
I think that pic #3 might have that gold plating under the green. I wouldst check that first. Good luck...I am jealous
Thanks to all for your thoughts, got a better idea of what they are worth now.
WOW I just looked at them on my laptop man they look really nice. Didn't notice before that one says mother board right on it. Glad I could help.
Pic # 5 says sentinel mother board on it, the others say northern telecom on em
Okay this is one of the piece I have except mine is fully intact. There are 4 more pieces bigger than this one I'm guessing they go along with it. Seems it's radio equipment or something. One I already tore down and thought there were 3 left, guess I was wrong.... So maybe whatever it is could be worth a few bucks.Quote:

That guy has it listed for 425 missing parts and not working. I would put one up and see if yours rates better than is. Hell he might buy yours to restore is..lolQuote:

Tater-did you get a chance to peel the green off a part of it yet?
Hopefully it will post the pic for me but this is the set of them that I have.

I would say $6-8lb. just from what I see. They could be more depending on where you send them and how many boards you have at the end of the day that you can ship will help to tell you if you will get $3-4 or $6-8. If you ship 100-500lbs its the latter if you ship more you should get more.
Not yet I'll do that tomorrow and post a picQuote:

But anyways nice find! I love getting that vintage stuff, amazing how far this stuff has evolved.
