Found some fluorescent light ballasts and took off the cover to find a heavy, crowded board in covered in a hard, tar-like coating.
I know I could scrap the ballast whole locally but I live in an area where the scrap yards are dishonest and ignorant so I try to stay away. (For example, I had a scrap yard worker hand back the blue copper I gave him because "there ain't no such thing as blue copper". I had him take a grinder to it and it blew his mind).
Anyways, what are we looking at here in the eyes of Boardsort? Lowgrade is my guess

File comment: Two different types. One was covered in a black, hard tar like protective material that had to be chipped off. The other is clean
