My mornings find

[acpeacemaker]

Thanks Mac, I forgot I found that out before. I just haven't done much with any of them to really get the cycle down. Yeah the pieces really fly by laying them flat.

I finally found some old stuff! Some of the Gold plated packages date from 1968. There are blank finger boards dated 1966. I found one of the part numbers from one board on the guided missile parts page: http://www.nsnlocator.com/nsnlocator/fsc-1420/252.html

If that Bogen amp in your pix ----.004 uses tubes, clean it up some, hook it up to a speaker and see if it makes noise like an amplifier does (versus blow up or not light up at all) and post it on ebay. Obviously all the tubes need to be present. There are numbers of Bogens for sale there, they are popular among the tube-amp crowd for guitar. Search for the model number on completed auctions. PM me if you need some guidance how to extract the value. They sell.

Thank you for the tips Geo. Also, thank you for sharing your stuff Claudie. It looks like you found. some nice stuff there. I've been pulling pins for the the past 3 mornings and realize I need a helper. This is 5 and half lbs. I have around 200 more lbs. to pull. Its just the time factor. -Andrew

Nice pile of pins;;; :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I would try and keep them seperated if you have so many.

I would seperate them as .

1. fully gold plated .

2. partaley gold plated .

3. any plating and has solder on them.

this might help you later with the refining process.. :roll:

 

[Claudie]

Now that's patience.... :|

Thank you trashmaster, I agree with your advice. Organization helps out a lot in the long run. Most of the silver areas are double sided pins from various backplanes. (Gold on both sides, but the middle isn't plated.) Separation/ tired and didn't sleep well= fold out table embarrassingly knocked over and pins all over the floor. There shouldn't be much solder if any in this batch though.
