Took apart the DIP package posted. Results posted. No gold balls. But. Seems some nice gold contacts. Very easily taken apart. Press in a vice. The outer covering seperates. Put a mini flat head screwdriver in crack. Easily lifts off. I can go the Gold Contact submission. Or Connector End. Posting this as For Your Information. Personally. I think I will submit Connector End.
Here to learn like everybody else

Back in the days when I first began recycling electronics, before I knew what to do, I took apart the dip swith,with their shiny gold colored balls (only the red switches, not the blue) and when the balls stuck to a magnet, I threw them away, as everyone knows gold is not magnetic. Also, tiny balls coated with grease will stick to a knife blade.
