Welcome to Boardsort™ - Learn - Sell - Profit -

Have quite a few boards I've been saving and now it's time to clean house...

Sets 1/2 Variety of mobo's or similar that I can never remember what the grade is or just want conformation on. Top right is front and back.





Set 3 Will definitely remove the batteries


Set 4 The gold components were interesting; not something I had seen before.




Set 5 Not sure if the gold on those two components are worth enough to do anything for the board



More sets to add after this

You have been missing for a while! I haven't responded because I struggle with classifying these types of boards as well. Would the top right two boards in set 1 and the left board in set 2 be GFCs?

Yeah, a few different things outside of sorting boards have taken a higher priority and I haven't spent as much time checking the forum. But I need to get through a small pile so I'm trying to check in and help a little while I wait for opinions.

Those GFC probable ones I think have had a slight chance for high telco depending on the particular board so I've kept them set aside. May have to email Lost or Chris to see what they think.

Next set; just gonna get these all added and email someone to see if they can check through them.

Set 6: military boards of some sort, very weighty.



Set 7: pretty weathered but lots of gold bits; ceramic ICs have gold legs



Set 8: Gold cap chip on the two right, yes? Gold legs on the bottom left's ICs. Top left from a drive and has gold legs on the NEC.




Set 9: various things the close up board has basically nothing on it except the little that is there seems to have some gold.




Set 10: walkie talkie boards


Set 11: had similar before but those had more chips was thinking high peripheral


Set12: I remember displays like this can sometimes have value on their own. Can I leave them on and what grade? If not, remove for high telco?

Btw where did last one come from.
It’s too new for the method it uses!
low telco. I recognise the grid layout as being a MDT design. That is, unlesss a pirate display, that’s platinum. Drunk or sober this is one where I’d put my own money behind personal. I’d quite low telco here.
The glass weight keeps it from jumping higher. But Chris’s won’t buy the screen alone. Tape the screen so it doesn’t splinter in shipping.

I wish I knew, I have about 6 of them and they were already bare boards when I got them.

Maybe I'll set them aside within this next shipment just in case they want to take a closer look.

1 Top 3 are high peripheral
Bottom 2 small socket motherboard

2 Left gold finger card
Right high peripheral

3 High peripheral

4 The small one is safely low peripheral. The large one is probably high peripheral. That age range the back mask is probably tin. —

5 the brown board, Chris buys this little bare components loose. The rate is higher than low grade so on something like this your best remove the two tiny pieces and send them alone. The board as is is midgrade.

6 All high telco.

7 Pop the four ceramic. They go as AMD ceramic.

8 Remove the socketed white ceramic for 8086 class
3 high telco boards. You have a conundrum here. You have a bunch of black fibre chips with gold legs. Do the work. Take them out and weigh them. the board without the chips drops to midgrade.

9 tip see below.
Two left long high peripheral. Right lone low grade. Nintendo high telco. Connector midgrade, gold is low telco.
The top one, I’m hesitant to grade. Personally I class these as small socket. They have an ASIC, two bridge controllers, expansion, memory…. Nobody has said I’m wrong but I’m not sure I’m right either

10 low peripheral

11 high peripheral

12 low telco.

Thanks Lost! That should cover the bulk of my unsure pile. I appreciate you taking time to help.
