Some more radio boards

1 telco
2 midgrade (peripheral if /any/ of the ports are gold
3 both mid
4 same as 2
5 same as 2 (if switches are silver plate not nickel
6 mid
7 probably peripheral
8 mid
9 midgrade. The tiny board is a cpu bank controller and should get green fibre w/metal
10 midgrade

I don't know how much you like to remove the better elements from low and mid grade boards. The last board graded mid grade has some copper wire you can remove. Also I see three components that may have good gold plating (unless it is brass). I am referring to the white circle caps with the numbers M1102 made in Malaysia. It has some thick solder. Some of the mid grade boards have ic chips soldered and on sockets. Removing any of these will NOT down grade the board at all.

Some people pull out the transformers and the copper bearing components. I get almost the same price where I live for transformers and the mid grade board so I don't even bother with transformers.

Those tabs are going to be worn down silver plated brass. You can see where the silver is still on parts of it.

Great example of a board to strip though.
Lots of copper brass and nickel.

If you have a mask and heat gun that solder looks nickel tin. Today avg is 20-45c an ounce

I think if it does not downgrade board I'll remove if chips the copper and the white round caps that have gold on them thanks

Removing chips will always downgrade but with low and midgrade boards it's better to scrap the contents because of the low board prices
