What do I do with socketed chips? What grade for the board?

Those chips all appear to be soldered so should not be removed.

Looks like there are 6 small socketed chips on there. Probably not enough to worry about. The board is high grade telcom @ $6.60/lb and the chips are $8.50/lb. Unless you have several boards it won't make a big difference by removing and separating the ICs

Unless you're collecting ICs AT ALL, do not remove the socketed ICs.
If you have a collection of ICs and have been saving them to sell, pull them off; the board can still go as High tele.

Cut the gold fingers off the ribbon cable and put in gold fingers

Not to derail the thread but, I did not know the gold fingers on ribbon cables count as gold fingers.

Me either. I figured I would eventually ask.
