i have these 4 boards. can you tell me the grade? im guessing these are peripherals.

I would say peripheral for the gold plated keypad regardless of the board color maybe peripheral as well for the silver one. the board without gold or silver traces is a mid grade.

I was told by Boardsort in the past that standard remote control boards are peripheral. As long as the traces and bump ic are there.

The blue unit in-between isn't something Boardsort normally takes. if you remove the plastic (heavy-duty wire snips) and smash the metallic ceramic case (hammer ) often You'll find a copper spool on a silver rod. Or better.
Just look up the part number first and make sure it's not super toxic like beryllium or arsenic.

thank you very much for the advice

Snapped a photo. This one is considerably larger. Had a yellow plastic shell. Inside the pressed fero ceramic is a copper spool around a cloth (cotton i believe) cover and a solid silver core rod. I tugged the copper loose so you could see the core. It was much tighter and much more of it at first.
Whole piece weighed 6 oz. Got. 25 oz silver and 1 oz copper feom it. Rest tossed into steel shred bin.
