I was told this is a low grade telecom board, so to get that price should I remove the wires and aluminum from it?

Thank You
Jim

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

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.

Thank you for the info.
I should have guessed that after I looked it over.
They weigh about 20oz, so not much profit there.
Clean cast aluminum is .55 at my local scrap yard. (Ben Weitsman)
For many years I scrapped a lot of stuff, but E waist is all new.
I can see you can a big loss if you don't know what you have.
I'm grateful you are willing to help me out!

Thank You
Jim
