I pulled a few of these big boards from Video/Audio Matrices, am hoping they break low peripheral but am wondering if there's too much junk.

Not sure if my eyes are deceiving me but the coax ports may have gold on the wire?

Pull the green terminals out of their sockets, especially if there's steel in them and not just brass.

Yes, there should be gold plated pins in the connectors. I'm gonna say high peripheral.

Any tips on what I would do with those terminals scrap-wise? I'd be concerned the brass wouldn't be recovered if I just put it in the steel shred pile. Also, the coaxial ports are brass but the frame they are all mounted to is steel, should I remove the steel frame?

Terminals can probably go in a brass breakage category with your local scrap yard. You could take them apart if you really wanted to and have the time.

Ideally the steel should be removed but, based on the way it's put together, I didn't bother suggesting it because it won't just slide off once the nut is loosened. You'll have to cut the steel or the gold pin.
