old industrial connector with wire wrap

0.5 grams can be expected?

Very light and partial plating on the socket pins. I don't see any gold on the wire wrap pins. 0.5 per kilo if you don't count the plastic and boards maybe.

The wrapped wire is that Gold?

no.
it's a thin single-core wire.
yellowish color is the color of the insulation.
either tinned or silver-plated, but very weakly.
test with nitric acid and salt water gave a light white cloud, but it doesn't look much like silver chloride.

Well, the coating there is good, at the level of the Czech Republic or Bulgaria (Tesla, Eltra of the 80s of the last century).
Today ,we "shot" from a pistol.
Well, the peel lies firmly on the bottom and does not fall apart when poked at it with a glass rod.
In general, as I have already seen from experience, the appearance does not mean anything.

@anarxi
Did you get any end results from that one? I was curious…

[anarxi]

no, I haven't really worked on it.
a lot of other work, and a lot of richer material has accumulated.
it's in progress.
so far I've only cut it off the board.
the plans are to heat it up on an electric stove and cut it into small pieces.
using a chisel and a hammer.

I understand
I have filled a room sized about 1/3 of our little house with “do-later-stuff”
I need a garage

Aah. Correct tools for the job is important

 

[anachronism]

In reality it's impossible to give yield figures or expectations based upon a picture in this manner. There are simply too many variables at play.

The only way is to sample. The rest is just guessing.

Looks good
I also prefer the "medieval" method when dismantling things.

Those type connectors are a real pain. Big hammer and chisel is the right tool for smaller quantities.

There are always bigger hammers

There are always bigger hammers

Still, you can't do it with just a hammer.
After heating it with a good chisel, it splits easily and effortlessly.
And the fragments don't fly.

I love and know how to take things apart, it's a kind of reengineering.
At my main (for now) job, I have to assemble, edit, create.
And for the soul - destruction.

The solution is always a bigger hammer and if that fail, one can shout for Thor

I actually had a collegue with exactly that mindset many years ago. Always bigger tools and if that failed, it was not worth doing.
