When Lostinlodos and I said Low Grade, we didn't mean as in Low Grade Telecom. Low Grade is currently at $0.50lb.

Should I remove the wires and aluminum from it?
You should try to remove the wires. It used to be that removing aluminum heat sinks from Low Grade and Midgrade Boards was done to increase your profit, but now that Low and Midgrade boards are $0.50lb, it is probably better to leave them on since aluminum heat sinks are $0.30lb versus $0.50lb.
Note: Any board that is brown on one or both sides is usually going to be Low Grade.
