Hello,

I have 8 boards, which I will be posting pictures of the front and back for.

Can someone please help me grade these boards?

I have a lot of each type, and I am trying to do a valuation of my current boards.

Thanks!

I'm sure ccussins will see this and get you a better idea on the grades but I'll go ahead and say they should all be at least high peripheral, some can probably go up to low telco.

But on number 8, you're going to want to take off the Dallas box that's ziptied and hopefully socketed and easy to pull, also the speaker and plastic and the heatsink if you want the best grade.

Appreciate it. Going to try to send a 1000-2000 lb shipment pretty soon of high peripheral or above. I’m in California so can’t really afford anything less than large freight rates.

No problem.

I understand! It's taken me several years to find a place within an hours drive to take the bulkier/lower priced boards. I don't get quite that much material though.

8) Midgrade until it gets cleaned. Should be obvious what needs to be done. Would look again after cleaning.
7) High Grade Peripheral
6) Clean the big blue capacitor from the board for High Grade Telecom, (High will always be what we call "Low Profile" meaning there will be no tall towering components on the board.)
5) Remove all metal enclosures and copper winds (pronounced like wind from "wind up toy") for High Grade Telecom. (High will not have metal, transformers or winds).
4) If the pins are gold, High Grade Telecom and if not gold, Low Grade Telecom.
3) Remove that big black capacitor and it can go High Grade Telecom. With it on, High Grade Peripheral.
2) Remove the big black capacitor and it can go High Grade Telecom.
1) High Grade Telecom.

Capacitors are being removed tonight. Thank you. I have a lot and I mean hundreds of lbs of what I assume will be telecom if that is the standard. Will post up more soon.
