I have a large amount of these gold plated transistors I have attached photos of the top and bottom mostly motorolla but all are the same as far as gold platng top bottom and pins. I was wondering if there was any specific category for these as I have easily over 30lbs of these?

Email Chris directly with photos. Yes, they buy. In the past they ranged from 10-30 cents per pound in prior times.

I’ve done a full melt and acid recovery on these.
They work out to be somewhere between gold mill and rolled gold. 1/12 by weight. Give or take. (30lbs would cost you $50 or so for materials to recover gold alone) I used a ceramic drum. I don’t suggest you try.
If your adventurous, they’re recovery rate today is around $1.20 per pound. You don’t have enough to try it at full recovery. But melting crap is fun.
