Lost, that is the sort of equivocal answer when I ask my lady friend of the day if I should keep investing my time and money in her, and she asks, "How soon is payday?" So, I am still undecided, since I did not ask the right question the right way. Let me put out some assumptions which will garner yes or no responses.
1. $ 5.00 per pound is base rate 2. Sorted pins will be RFA analyzed and a custom quote issued for each batch 3 Depending on gold thickness/content, the price may be much higher. (for example , I had some tiny contacts on a stiff wire analyzed by my local yard, which does not buy precious metal or electronic scrap, and the reading came out 31 percent Au. However, I did not inquire if that was just the contact material reading, or if the tool read part of the supporting finger.) 4. While a lot of the hard to do ends are not worth pulling pins, some other boards from old commercial electronics have the wirewrapped class pins (up to 2 or more inches long) mounted in a perforated aluminum board, with insulator material in the hole, of course. Obviously, these must be pulled, as the aluminum plate is ten or more pounds of weight. 5. and in the most obvious statement of this list, I would have had a handful of pins pulled already, had I spent the time it took me to write this, in actually pulling pins.
