Yes it's definitely rust,all the ceramic chips have pretty bad rust damage or I might have actually tried selling them.The epoxy ones are being shared with bayblend and myself for our collections.Thanks in advance.

Darn that is a shame that they are rusted. There went a lot of money.

Could and should still be worth a lot more than the gold. Even in that state. How much do you want for the intel white ceramic chips?

You can remove the rust by laying the ICs into oxalic acid for a day. They will still look used but probably much better without the brown stains. You could try it with one of them to see, if you get the expected result.

Don't do it with one of the intel ones, test anything with an NCR one first or you could make matters worse.

Even if you get the rust removed the top is going to be pitted and a collector will probably not buy it.

From what I read I wouldn't spend time or money to improve some, risking to degrade others. I would try to sell as is, keep'em or refine.

max. 1g ...wish you to get more, but I think 0,5-1,0g is safe. Heavy plating, but big parts = less areal.

solar_plasma

That was a very good guess for the mix of pins that was there.The results were 0.6grams on recovery.Thanks in advance.


P.S gold traces should be done tomorrow.

P.S.S The ceramic Intels are being traded to a friend.

Amazing, it is always like the seniors say: expect to be on the low end of your estimation. :lol: ...frustrating.

I think that is, what our friends have tried to teach you, while in the beginning I did not really understand, why I felt there was a somewhat harsh atmosphere. For a hobby you can go for a higher risk, than if you do this for a living and need to get more than 10$/h net - probably more towards 30$/h since you need to cover times with bad order situation, too. Two very different perspectives. The same price can be from freshening cheap to alarming sketchy. Though you should really listen to the business foxes among us, I think you are somewhere in between with this buy, where exactly you will need to decide for yourself. Good luck further on!!

I did my recovery with AR and dropped the gold out with SMB.I used ammonia washes to remove the copper I knew would get dragged down.I then dried and melted it.This button will sit until I run the rest and recover all the gold then I'll put it all back through AR for a second refine.Thanks in advance.

Say what?

Copper(I) chloride (CuCl) is soluble in either HCl or ammonia.

Well I've learned something new then....

Thanks - having said that I'll keep ammonia out of the process but that's good to know.

Yall should take a look at cnbarr's process for cementing silver with copper from ammonia hydroxide,It's on the other site.Thanks in advance.
