I have several of these boards that come out of a box of sheet aluminum. I will remove the metal bracket on the right, but there isn't much to these. There is the female pin connector on the left, a handful of ICs and the two socketed flatpacks.

I wonder if I would be better off to strip the ICs and flatpacks, break off the female pin connector, and then pull those coax connectors to throw the brass in my bucket to sell locally and toss what's left in scrap steel.

The yellow caps aren't tantalum either.

What would this be classified without the metal bracket and without the two flatpacks?

Yeah. Remove the bracket. Take the brass. Remove the Socketed ICs. But leave other chips. Take female edge connector. Then submit what is left as High Peripheral.
That is what I would do if I depopulated. Which. I don't do as a rule. But. Am aware of.
Here to learn like everybody else.

Can the steel be removed from the ports without knocking them off?

If so, remove the steel, leave everything else, high peripheral
