Hi all,

1-3 are all from broken DVD players. I believe peripheral but some are heavy and appear to have junk. Not sure if I leave in low peripheral or can remove stuff to upgrade them?

4-5 are from gaming controllers that have broken. I know these are probably mid-grade but wanted a few opinions.

6 is the wildcard. This was removed from a security that was installed in the mid-80s. Not sure what to grade or what needs to be removed.


Thank you again for looking and greatly appreciate any help!

Pull the steel lids off the coax/cable box on 1

1-3 I would tend to say high peripheral, 2 has a lot of steel (copper on ferrite anyways) on one side though and maybe negatively impacts the grade.

4 doesn't appear to have anything valuable on it except maybe the switches? Unless I'm missing something I'd say low or midgrade. Do remove the wires, the tiny boards can probably go midgrade.

5 at least has a bump IC and switches, midgrade at least but possibly low peripheral? There do appear to be two boards mounted together. I doubt separating would be helpful.

6 has a lot of steel (or brass???) but also 6 ICs that I can see. Depending on how much time I have I would either hesitate and consider putting it in midgrade but end up putting it low peripheral as is, unscrew the screws and probably still stick it in low peripheral (just without hesitating), or remove the terminals completely and probably go high peripheral with it. If the terminals are brass I might have to reconsider. Pull that metal from the middle of the board too
