I was hoping to get some advice in regards to 4 different styles of PCBs that are from decommissioned CNC robot PLC panels. Usually the really high end boards from these are easily HGTC every single time.
Now I am unsure if there is an unlisted "mid grade telecom" category that is selected by Boardsort when they process your boxes.
I'm curious if anyone can tell me if some of these are absolutely low grade, or if they are on the line and if I just trim something (fuses for examples, or junk) then that may make the board eligible for an upgrade.
Every board has an LED section I will include in my photos and all the pins are gold plated.

Remove the glass. Fuses. No doubt. All those relays. Remove the relays. Submit to Boardsort as High Telecom. Does mid grade telecom exist? After your submission
You will get your question answered if mid grade telecom is a category. Which is not listed.
Here to learn like everybody else.

I would only remove the glass fuses and keep everything else intact. Relays add value depending on what kind and quality.
Any board that can be separated from others or the main PCB must be disassembled; led board.

Submit all the larger boards as Low Tel. In my opinion they barely make Low Tel, mostly High end Per.
The led board will go low/mid grade.

There is no in-between High and Low Tel but are some exceptions depending what's populated on the board or can be prorated depending if it's an easy upgrade or removal. That is completely up to BS in grading your boards or having an underlining exception to where BS will accept it as an off-listed item.
