A guy came into our scrap facility with a few odds and ends and along with them he brought these in.. just tossed in with some lowgrade boards and such..
I had to be honest and I paid him well for these eprom.. but Didnt know I had some vintage until I did some research.
So.. Take a look.. and What do You think the value of these could be.

Cool!
please explain more on what i am looking at.
These items are Pre 1990 chips that came out of variety of computer boards.. They are VINTAGE Very rare...
I don't know exactly what boards these came out of but have found out the one with the dual cpu is from a military board pre 1989 approx.
the rest I'm still doing research.
My heart breaks when I ponder some of the things I saw shredded, crated, & hauled away back when I was working on submarines in the mid-late 80s. I could probably retire if I had all that stuff pristine right now.Quote:

Where did you work on Submarines? My uncle worked on Nuclear Subs in Alameda California when the Navel base was in operation.Quote:

For those that don't already know, you can sometimes sell your vintage computer equipment, or electronics for a premium. Just check out the ebay listings, you might get a good idea for what this type of equipment goes for.

Isn't there also a vintage computer forum where they buy/sell and collect the oldies??Quote:

You going to try and straighten out all of those bent pins, Larry? Vintage can only fetch vintage price in good working condition.
I would actually use a pair of needle nose pliers with some cloth around the tips to try and do that and they may have some better than scrap value.
There are some old Hammond organs that have some of those long white chips with gold all over them.
yah... I'm gonna straighten them darn pins up.... come here.. you.. yea you... now sit and be quiet while I bang these pins to a straight and fine shape...Quote:

The one in the bottom picture you are looking at about $15-20 if you get the pins perfect, sometimes not an easy job. The others are probably just good for scrap.
Hi Barren, just curious how you came up with that figure.?Quote:

could You please elaborate a bit more on how you again come up with that figure. Thanks.
I wish I would have seen this post earlier. There was just an old Hammond organ on craigslist for free :( Anything else inside these worth it?Quote:

When in doubt do it.. you never know. ..
Anytime you can pick up old Hammond organs, do so. They also have Palladium and CopperQuote:

The contacts on the bussbar may be Palladium, Palladium with nickel, or other metals.

These are the copper strips found under the keys, the wires should be pure Palladium

Thanks Nobel.. that is kewl pics..
My Grandfather owned a music store.. being italian, We play the accordian.. I should see if My father still has some of his old broken one.
Thanks.
It's just a good average price that the chip should move at. You can price it higher and possibly get it but you also take the possability of sitting on it when asking the higher price. I have 8 or 10 of them setting around here.Quote:

I haven't taken it apart yet though. had a blast tearing down an old laser copier printer the other day, not much value but was a blast dismantiling it.Quote:
