Attached below are numbered boards. I have higher quantities of these, so they are the higher priority.

1. Remove the faceplate, high Telco
2. Is a gold finger card. With bracket or without if you remove it
3. Gold cap chip board. If that's a metal bracket/support on the side, remove it.
4. Not sure how much of the board is cropped out of the picture so not sure on grading.
5. Remove the Dallas box, has a battery in it. Looks like two boards, if the smaller board can be removed, if only so we can see what's on the other side and under it on the big board, please do. The purple ceramic CPU, is it socketed or soldered on? If socketed, pull it to check for a gold cap on the bottom. If soldered, you can carefully drill one or two small holes on the other side of the CPU to see if there's a gold cap.

he only needs to remove the cover and battery from the Dallas box, the IC inside it is ok to leave.

4 is likely GFC or telco

Board 4 (sorry file had to be compressed to upload)

for board 5, if the LSI CPU has a gold base (I believe it does) how would that grade? under the small board is a few more IC's, non ceramic

Was also curious about these, GFC with some (I Believe) SDR slotted.

remove the steel bracket and it might go as high telco, remove the ram sticks form the slot btw, they have their own category that will pay more

4. high Telco once the bracket is removed.

5. Kinda need to know if the chip is socketed or not and whether there is a gold cap or not. If gold cap, then gold cap chip board, if socketed you can remove the chip and weigh it and the board separately to see if it's worth leaving on or not. If not gold cap, likely looking at high Telco and again if socketed you could see if the chip is worth more on the board or not. If soldered and you can confirm the gold cap, it's likely best to leave it on the board, as solder on CPU pins affects the grade, and it'll be gold cap chip board. The small board attached, we can't see what's on the other side of it, if it's soldered in it could affect the grade of the whole thing. If it's removable, then another picture of it flipped over next to the obscured portion of the big board would be helpful.
