Welcome to Boardsort™ - Learn - Sell - Profit -

I have a few of these. Aluminum frame with gold slots and on the backside, medium length gold pins that had wire wrap. There is no board as such, just the aluminum frame holding the slots. Boardsort bought one about 6 years ago, but it was much larger, weighing 22 pounds and much longer heavier square pins. Note; It is after midnight, and I'm having trouble getting the pictures transferred and loaded and posted, so maybe tomorrow

You got rows of straight female wire wrap headers mounted on the aluminum. They might be only screwed down or pop riveted to the aluminum. You can remove the fasteners. Clean off wire wrapping. And pull the headers up through the aluminum. What is the gray substance between headers? It looks like foam insulation. Hopefully not glue.

Cat whisker, The "gray" is just the side of the black plastic headers. The aluminum channel has holes drilled and pins inserted with a bit of plastic insulation to keep from contact with the aluminum. The slots/headers are screwed down on the red plastic/fiber end plates. I really had not considered removing the goodies from the frame, as I assumed that would only go as connector ends once it was no longer a "pin board unit". And, if the whole pin was removed, as gold pins. The gray cubes visible on the green boards to the right are the antminer hashboards I used as a stand for photographing the item in question.

I guess it will have to be a Boardsort decision. I just looked at it as an aluminum panel fitted with headers. Removng them. You would have some "healthy gold" connector ends. And very clean. Maybe Chris can give you a better Connector End rate. From my perspective. Calling that a PCB was a stretch. But. There are Metal Core Printed Circuit Boards. But. In my opinion. Your photo isn't one. I guess. Work it out with Boardsort. Since I mail exclusiveky. Getting rid of that panel works for me. Less weight. Reduced space. I can pack the headers real small. Giving me nore space for other stuff. It's a judgement call based on personal circumstances and some Boardsort input.

These entirely depend on how they are put together as it is you’re probably have yourself high peripheral maybe

If it’s easy to do so my suggestion would be to pull the pins and get clean gold pins. Sell the aluminium board.
On the flipside if these are soldered or glued in pins, you could consider a heat gun or give Chris a call and see what he thinks
