Are these low telco? Gold finger card? Midgrade and cut the fingers off?

With all those empty sockets id assume low grade and just trim the fingers off but wait for someone with more knowledge to post

Yeah that’s what’s throwing me I’ve never had anything with so many empty IC spots so I’m not positive

These are my reference points for older style boards:

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=20854&p=40413&hilit=older#p40413
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=20899&p=40643&hilit=older#p40643
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=20985&p=40963&hilit=older#p40963

Are the gold fingers one sided or on the back also?

41 Has an advantage of being smaller for what should be decent gold fingers, plus possible gold in the switch; high peripheral at minimum

43 Has a lot more board to fingers. Low peripheral seems possible to me

44 A bit different than the others and my references but has ICs and gold fingers still, easily high peripheral, possibly better.

In that case I'm sure you shouldn't get lower than what I think with possibility for a step up.

So shouldn’t trim the fingers off, correct?

The gold fingers are definitely going to be a big part of the boards making the grades I think they can go in.

I personally wouldn't trim them.
