I am ripping down a large photo printer, and a few of these boards have me stumped. The large board has a processor on it, so I don't know what it would fall under. The small board with the gold plating came off of the ink cartridge. There are a few more boards in there that I still need to get to as well, I will add them to this post as soon as I can.

Sorry I can't help with ID of these boards, so I'll just throw out a recycling a photo printer, commercial size. I bought it at auction for ten bucks or so. Started stripping it.
gpot 200 pounds of aluminum and a bunch of wire and connectors and a total of 18 boards. Finally gave up at nit-picking the small bits, so decided to load it on the pickup for the junk yard. I tilted the husk, and tried to get it up on the truckbed, but it kept sliiping back. I couldn't quite get it loaded, so finally I said to myself, I'll tilt it, brace my leg and knee under it, and push until it is loaded. If I comes back, I'll have a broken leg. I was still alive when it finally fell over into the truckbed. At the recycling yard, it weighed out at a little over seven hundred pounds for what remained, after all my stripping. And no, I didn't get smarter and stop doing such foolish things. I merely got too old to do them, altbhough I still push against immovable objects...I just don't get under them now.

Big board, high peripheral
Medium board, low peripheral
Small board, midgrade

I love it! This one was only 117 lbs but that was hard enough for me. It had 1.2lbs of wire in it.

Thank you! The Processor on the large board was making me think motherboard for some reason.

These are the other boards. I have 4 or 5 of the tank rom boards, they don't have much going for them other than the gold pins and the single IC chip. Would it be better to strip these boards? Same question about the second, larger board. The black plastic with the gold plated pins are removable. Removing them would leave me with a mid? grade board, but would it be low periphrial with them on?

Tank board is probably just midgrade. Removing pins and IC would make the board low grade.

The other is probably low peripheral; though there might be an argument for removing capacitors to try and bump it to high peripheral.
