Welcome to Boardsort™ - Learn - Sell - Profit -

Curious on these boards since they are kind of unique and I am still learning. I am thinking all peripheral high grade but am not 100% sure. The smaller boards came from a pager and VHF emergency response radio. Regarding the larger board (A), will the vga and dvi ports demote it? The bottom right (G) the metallic stuff is steel so would that make that mid grade? Thanks for any help!

A/C/E shouldn't have any trouble going high peripheral, ports are fine

B is at least midgrade but unsure if it can get low peripheral

D seems more likely to be low peripheral

F I'm leaning low peripheral

G, the steel fencing and solder is fairly substantial from that angle, if you can remove most of the steel high peripheral should be possible. As is, can probably low peripheral

Thank you, Marked, for the info!

Just to follow up as well.

B - if that has visible gold then low peripheral should be OK as mentioned.
C - I, personal preference, remove the large capacitors so I can angle and fit more in the boxes when I ship. Plus the larger ones can carry some weight. My yards also pay dirty aluminum price for them.
D - can you remove the yellow box apparatus?
G - I would agree with marked about trying to remove that shielding. That will definitely carry some significant weight on the board. Low Peripheral if you don't remove the shielding.

Thanks dhill! Regarding D, I was wondering about the yellow box apparatus. It appears to have a gold coating so it made me question removing it. I did end up taking it off, however, as it's otherwise solid copper. Regarding G, the metal and solder is pretty heafty and I don't think I can remove it without destroying the board - low peripheral it is then. I have multiples of all these so thank you both!

C, if shipping density isn't a big concern for you the capacitors are fine to leave. Probably get more for them that way. But all depends on your situation

D, The "box" reminds me of an antenna, likely gold plated if the color is accurate. Send it in when you have stuff ready and ask them to scan it, might get a little more for it than just copper

G, definitely looks annoying, I was thinking tin snips to section parts of it then bending back and forth until it breaks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
