The first photo appears to be the actuator arm assembly and motor core from a hard drive. What I've done with my arm assembly is I've clipped the end with the pins on it and put them in my bag of cable ends, then pulled apart any copper windings from the back of the reader arm and put with my #2 copper wire. The motor core I put with my transformers/CBMs, even though you have gold contacts and aluminum enclosing the assembly. The reader head itself is aluminum, even though you have precious metals on the tip, it's not enough in my opinion to separate. Put that with your aluminum. Any data cables you can put in with your mixed wire. And if you don't know what to do with the platters, boardsort will buy those, or you can sell them as dirty aluminum to your local scrap yard. Recovering the precious metal off the platter surface will require a few thousand platters and a lot of acid to get anything worthwhile, so leave that to the refiners who do this stuff for a living.

bogie2929,

As usual kgryczan is spot on about the first photo. We so not purchase those items other than the connector ends and the wire.

The rest of the photos are all Peripheral Grade boards.

Thanks!

the first photo was more for info i figured the connector would go with the connectors but wanted to make sure thanks for the info
