I've removed a lot of the metal and bulky parts plus the RCA jacks, do these qualify as high-grade peripheral, or am I wasting my time trimming these down?

Thanks
Larry

The RCA jacks contain gold which is what will make it at least low grade. I usually leave them on. I'm afraid you removing them might have down graded it to low or mid grade completely out of the peripheral category. Hopefully someone more experienced will chime in.

As Keller I think you down graded your boards, some of the removed connectors looked to be ones with gold in them.

I would say they are all low peripheral at best aside form 1 and that could be mid grade, I think you shot your self in the foot here by removing weight and some of the things you removed looked like they could have had gold pins like the VGA end on board 5

Circuit boards are quite complex, I sent in a box a few months ago and I thought they would be peripheral high grade because they were all main and tcon boards from LCD TV's but most were downgraded to peripheral low grade, Chris said they had RCA and cable TV jacks on them dropping the grade, but you're telling me I downgraded them by removing those parts. It costs a couple bucks a pound to ship them now so decided to remove the BGA, flat packs, gold tab ect IC's and recycle the rest of the board.
