Hello all,
In my search for fingers and pins i have been running across some really nice old gold plated ic chips. I like these so much i don't want to destroy than but rather save them to collect. I am looking for a way to remove them from the circuit board without harming them to much. There are various methods on here mentioned but i haven't found one that didn't damage the fragile pins in some way.
Anybody got any idea's? I know these chips will probably never have any value higher than the small gold content but i really like them and have enough fingers to mess with.
Thanks
Raz
