So I inherited my great grandfather's property and I found an old army switchboard out behind the tractor shed. I think this is possibly gold capped conduit boards or some such?
Kind of hard to find any info on it.
I know I already removed 88 solid brass pulley wheels from one side of it which are cool for industrial art and design but I'm curious if this is gold like it appears to be and what I should do with the 120 little rectangles? I read somewhere that 60s military equipment had the highest gold content because they triple plated them for longevity supposedly so I'm curious if anyone thinks this is worth extracting the gold? (If it is gold)
