Game Boards

Hi everyone,
what do you think of these? they are non functional.
Obviously the fingers are are plated and I think the traces are plated on the astro's but I have no idea if the ICs are anything special.
was this an exceptional score?
This site is awesome, BTW.

be careful with the blue dip switches. the older ones have a gold over silver ball for each number. all the IC's will have some PM's and a large majority will have gold inside under the top. it takes a lot of them to accumulate any amount of gold but added to the silver and palladium, i feel they are all worth refining. the little red toggle switch has a gold over silver rocker contact and all the flatpacks (any IC with more than 42 legs on all four sides is considered a flatpack) will have gold wires.the standing silver looking rectangle is known as a "crystal", it has two legs and can be found in old two-way radios. gently open it to find a silver plated ceramic disc and the two legs inside the case is silver plated. almost everything on a circuit board has value, even the solder will have a percentage of silver.

good luck.

Before killing these boards you may want to check the ebay; a double dragon board for instance sells easily for like 30 bucks, which is way more than what you can get out of it in PM value.

working the astro is about 150ish and the CM96 $50-100, but these do not work.
I have around 50 cms and 15-20 astros.
I also got around 100 old jcm currency validators but the only thing I know they have is a 27c512 eprom, the circuit boards are small, SMD and incredibly difficult to get out.
