Hello all, wondering if I could get some help grading these boards. Peripheral high or Telco low? I don’t know where they came from and there is nothing on the back of the green one. I have front and back of the blue included.
Thank you in advance for the insight and help.!

On the blue board, pop the top lid off the cable box, high peripheral.

The green board...hmm...some stuff makes me think lower value but then it has some things that make me think higher. It can easily go in low peripheral, feels like it should be high. Maybe someone else feels more certain about it?

I did say it feels like it should be high.

Just some things about the board made me think, maybe these are all low quality components and it just looks good ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yep. The green board just looks good. It is some type of instrument board. It has some stuff removed. Here's some clues. Ds1, Ds2, Ds3. Those sockets had the output displays in them. Which were LCD. Ds3. Most likely a small board with display that plugged into the gold pin slot. The major clue for me was the crystal. Glaring at me at 4 Mhz. Thats typical of analog to digital speed. Measuring instruments. Deals with the sampling rate or refresh times if you will. nd you got the typical instrumentation Ics. U23 the ICL7109CPL the analog to digital convertor. Then you have the family of 6800 chips. U13 the 6821b21p. U12 the 6821p. U10 the 6802p. The CPU with two PIAs. Those 3 run the show. Also. 2 PCB mount trimmer potentiometers. The small blue square components. Right where they should be. Near the A/D convertor. For calibration. Not necessary to point out much more. But I could.
I can't give it Telecom. I put at High Perpheral. Also. No impressive gold contact edge connectors. The board might be from the 80's. It's not that high quality Telecom construction as I understand it.
Here to learn like everybody else.
Oh. Yeah. The blue board. High Peripheral
My evaluations are my own opinion.

Thanks for the input. I'll take the lid off the cable box and throw them in HP. If Boardsort changes things, up or down, I'll let you all know!
