Busy day, more pictures to come

Is this wire wrap pinboard?

This board? Pull transformers?

Is there any remarketability or hidden scrap value in high end rc plane controllers? Got a trailer load

The pins need to be gold for either of the pin board classes. What you have is likely midgrade or possibly upgrade to peripheral on the one if the pins are copper.

Tv boards like that will be midgrade. Pulling the transformers lowers the weight. Not the best idea but you’ll make Chris’s happy. ;)

Nope. It’s a naked IC. Looks topless. Must be Mardi Gras.

Yeah pins aren't gold, after a Cl test pretty sure not silver or ag-plate, I think it might be solid nickel, which means yet another jar on my table,

I didn't have any TVs in todays load
And when I asked the dissembly monkey what it came out of all I got was... Monkey sounds. Maybe one of the fax machines?

Either way prolly an ounce or 2 of ics there,

these controller are full of switches but they're hard to take off the case without crushing it and losing the silver bearing bits, ditto for the potentiometers

Any resale value in an ibm mechanical keyboard, ps-2 port, it's stupid heavy for a keyboard

Absolutely!
Especially IBM and DEC!

Based on memory alone I think that’s a Model M. Or J but it’s too low for J in my memory. Not sure what revision.

$50-$150 is fairly common for them if you can plug it in and all keys work. More with good springs on each key.
Yes they are heavy. Some of the best keyboards ever made. Gamers like them a lot. Fast typers like them too. Like myself. My wpm rate is too fast for low end modern keyboards so I actually need mechanical. And these are nicer than most modern Mecs.
Those are the grail keyboards along with early Apple ones. And the space cadet keyboards. Which can fetch nearly a thousand or much much more.

And no, the board is almost certainly a display driver. That’s not 100% but I’d say 95% sure.
