When scrapping CD-ROM drives, don't waste a whole lot of time on them beyond opening the drive and taking only the controller board and any other boards you find directly under the cover. The controller board is where the money is. The rest of the drive is shred metal.

As long as the gold pins are intact, the floppy controller board will have peripheral grade. Removing the pins downgrades the board to low grade.
