Just wondering if these are worth the trouble to mess with. There's a lot of big chunky stuff that would need to be removed. The gold pins on the edge are the only thing that sort of leads me to send them in.

You must remove all glass fuses. Glass fuses are a no no. To send in to Boardsort. Your boards as they are pictured. All would be Mid Grade. But. Mailing in Mid Grade is a tough decision. I exclusively mail in my escrap. As a rule. I don't mail in Mid Grade. I don't see it as cost effective. I give my Mid Grade to a local street scrapper I know. But that's just how I deal with stuff I don't want. You will have make your own accessment on weight. Postage. Payout.
Now. Having said all that. There is stripping the boards for the heatsinks. IC chips. Gold pin connectors. Copper wire. Etc. But that is another e scrapping issue. I do not consider myself experienced enough to confidently comment on.
Here to learn like everybody else.
My evaluations are my own opinion.

Bd2 is a board that would be catch my eye and invite me to tear it down to see what's in the connectors. The green terminals make me think electrical, which could have copper or brass in it (especially if it's heavy and non magnetic) and then obviously the thick gold plating in the other. That board would end up being midgrade after that and based on how easy it was and what's there I might go after the pins in bd1.

Bd1 probably midgrade as is with the heavy transformers, maybe on the edge of low peripheral. Removing heavy stuff, you'd definitely clear low peripheral if you left ICs and pins, doubt there's room to get to high peripheral.
