Hello all, i have been following, reading and researching for sometime here on the site. I haven’t posted much because I’m still studying here & with Hokes book. I completely appreciate/ respect all of you for dedicating yourselves and time to this site for those of us who are just beginning to love and learn this hobby.
I have a question….what would be the best way to attempt to remove the gold foil from the the underside of this heat sink?
I have approximately 50 -75 pieces (and more that I haven’t disassembled yet). I believe, based on filing and testing, that the material is nickel over copper. What I believe to be nickel is a rather thick coating on the copper.
I am hoping Butcher, Frugal, Harold and others can help me navigate the best route for success in hopes of recovering the gold foil.
Thank you very much in advance for the help and your expertise. (BTW totally love this site y’all are amazing). Thanks again for the help.
Sincerely Dino B.
