Low grade Telco or high grade Telco. $7.50 and $11 respectively.

Individual ceramic chips are the only things that get up into $200+

All prices per pound at time of posting.

just saying....

For a single isolated board of this size with high-quality vintage aviation plating:The Gold Yield: A heavy mil-spec gold-plated board of this footprint typically yields roughly 0.1 to 0.25 grams of pure gold when processed through professional chemical reverse-electroplating or acid leaching.The Value: At a gold spot price of roughly $130 per gram (approx. $4,100+ per troy ounce), 0.2 grams of recovered gold translates to a raw metal value of about $26.00

$213lb catagory, right? just saying....

I would aim for gold cap/edge/CNC personally.

If you're sending anything in and are unsure on the price, you can always set a few things aside (and I mean 2-3 items) and request a check of the material grade. I have done this with things requiring a scan with the XRF gun.

600 miles away road trip. not happening anytime soon. and cant catch chris on fone.

this stuff is 60's-70's era thick coating. check the pics.

so i'm supposed to put 2 ounces gold in mail and cross fingers?

it amazes me y no front desk to answer everyday questions so chris would have time for the likes of me. only chris could make a special deal.

They do purchase gold plated components separately. You’ll need to keep trying to get a hold of him for an estimated range though.
