Scrapping an ultrasound machine and other older medical equipment

Im trying to sell an ultrasound machine and some other older medical equipment but, if I cant sell it by the end of this week I will go ahead and scrap it down.

Does anyone know the scrap value of this gold adapter that comes off of the medical equipment?

thanks in advance for any comments.

Here are some more pics. of it on the machine. It seems to be different than coaxel. One side has a little pin in the middle that plugs into the machine and on the other side you can plug another cable into it. I guess when I see that gold color I get my hopes up but maybe not worth that much, who knows.

Thanks for clearing that up. Any idea how much something like that is worth? (assuming it is gold plated)

Ya I only have four connectors plus other connectors that arent removable. Ill go ahead and break them down then I will know exactly how many gold components I have. If I have more than 1lb I will look for a quote and if I have less I'll figure something else out.

thanks

Ya, I totally want to break them down but, the sell value is always more than the scrap value. And if it could potentially be used to help people by selling it at an affordable price, Im all for that. Although, the reality is that it is an older machine and there isnt much demand for this type of equipment anymore so, it is looking more and more that I will break it down. I will show pics.

Does anyone know anything about the safety of breaking these things down (radiation, chemicals, etc)? I think ultra-sound equipment should be ok but, you never know.

see if you can find a user, operator, or service repair manual for it. That may very well cover any dangers in it

Im going to go ahead and break them down. Here are a couple of pic and I will have much more soon.

Any idea what the boards and cards are classified as?

Ill have lots more to show tomorrow.

Medical Printer #2: this device had one main board, 7 big gold finger cards, and a couple other boards

Does anyone know what the mother board and the cards are worth?

ps: just to warn readers, this will be a long thread with lot of pics.

I believe it is the same as the second but, a different model. Some kind of medical printer, perhaps for heart rate. Im not really sure.

Ok here is the next unit that I broke down. All of the pics in this post are from the ultra-sound machine.

I do have a couple of questions on the broads:
1.one of the boards has two cpu's but the pins are not gold, although where you insert the cpu the pin hole are gold. What is this board worth. Mother board or telecom price? (see pics)
2.There is another board that has some long gold pins that lead up to a socket. What is this worth? (see pics)
3. I think most of them are telecom boards and some of them mid-grade boards. What do you think?

Ok Ill have some more pics soon.

I have no idea of the scrap value of this adapter. I would suggest you to sell the entire ultrasound equipment on eBay. This can give you the great value of equipment than selling it as scrap.
