After much searching, including starting at page 19 and working back thru page 14 of the General Discussion Forum, I have found a enough partial answers to guide me through my pile of boards. Now I wouldn't want to deprive any other new e-scrapper of the joys of finding out on your own by telling what I concluded.
I have quite a several hundred large socket motherboards from the 90's which have a metal face(sometimes iron, others brass or ss) as well as metal edges around the connector ports. Do these need to be removed? Also a lot of them have a few aluminum capacitors...remove or leave? I would prefer to remove the capacitors, about 1 inch tall, to save the packing space. The boards Usually have one or two small ferrite donuts with a small bit of copper wrap...remove? I would be nice to see a side by side comparison of a raw board and one that is prepared for shipping, showing what has been removed. Or, is Motherboard class acceptable without removing anything except heat sinks and batteries?
