I got a pallet load of VFD boards and was wondering about how to grade them. I'll start with the three I'll have the most of. I'm leaning towards peripheral high grade. Except for the one with the transformers... Maybe it's mid grade? Good thick gold on the pins.

I would cut bottom off of third board with transformers right below the transformers and send all 3 as peripheral high grade. That is if you have somewhere local to sell it as a low grade or power board.

If you have no where local to sell the north portion of the board. Possibly sell it as peripheral low grade, but I would say it would go as midgrade not peripheral low so your best option would be to depopulate chips.
