 Post subject: 2 boards need opinions

Got these 2 boards from an old bank teller machine, I think something they used to run checks through that kind of looked like a typewriter.

OSCAR is saying peripheral low for both but the main board seems much better than that, I'd guess at least Perph High. I don't plan to take any of those removable chips off as I think it might hurt the grade since there's quite a few of them and I don't really collect chips if I don't have to.

The display board I'm thinking of cutting the display off but not sure if it'll help bump it to perph high or if that display has any value. Backs are blank on both.

That display seems to be glass. That must be removed. Glass is a no. Then the board. Low Peripheral.
The other board. High Peripheral. And. Yes. I wouldn't remove the socketed chips. If you do it might affect the High Peripheral grade.

In this case the glass display actually has value. Tape over it to help protect it in transit, good chance for high peripheral.

The larger board I think high peripheral also.

I never would think that that display tube could be sent in to Boardsort. I personallly got some old Nixie tubes in original packages. But. I intend to sell them online. Having done my share of pinball repair in my time. Those old neon and fluorecent tubes go bad. I can't imagine finding replacements these days. I can see that display tube having value if it is still good. But. Marked141. Are you saying the tube has escrap value?

Scroll down to lost's comment. I know it's been talked about elsewhere also regarding certain displays having escrap value.
