Have no clue what they buy these as? I figured no pictures were need since there not boards, just ic chips with gold legs from 60s 70s, mainly Motorola and HP moslty plastic but some ceramic. If a picture is needed ill uplad one thanks.

Here's an old thread that might help.

In general!

If the chip has gold pins AND a gold cap/hat/top or bottom i put it in the 8086 gold pins and gold cap category.

For ic chips with gold pins that do not have a cap i sort two ways

Square ones go in the 486 category.

Long narrow rectangles With gold legs go in the amd ceramic category.

Rectangles Still hold true today.

There were less classes at the time.
There’s a bunch other qualifications for square ones and they won’t be 486 without the cap (unless they’re actually #86 or #87 chips)
We need photos or chip IDs for squares.
