i found my first old microwave last night. Its the type w/ the wood look. Cant wait to check it out.
On a side note, i found this in a vcr last night. I would think its copper bc the board is brown on the other side and the only thing on it is a 1.5" black plastic disc w/ a small ribbon cable connector on the other side.

You'll be surprised how many bit's-o-gold you'll find on a brown board. I found a pin connector (4 pins) on a monitor board (brown) and the pins were as big around as an ink pen cartridge and about 1" tall.

I went back and compared it to the finger boards off a computer and it looks the same shade of gold color. Its going in the gold bin for now. thanks
