Hello friends, I have these telecom boards and was wondering if removing the "junk" (marked in the pic) will upgrade them from low grade to high grade telecom?
Or should I leave it on for the extra weight? Or maybe there not telecom at all?
Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks, have a blessed day

Def not gonna get High Grade Telecom, in direct feedback I've received you need at least 50% of the board to be densely populated with ICs to get to High Grade Telecom, looking at these even cleaned up they wouldn't present as close to that I don't think.

Removing that junk and the plastic face plate might, just might move them into low grade telecom though. I'd clean one up and send a pic to Chris for final grading feedback if you'd like to try for that.

Ok thank you, where do I find Chris's info to send him a pic?

it's just: chris@boardsort.com

They keep it listed on the front page of the website if it should change I'm sure they will update it there.
