Some interesting scrap -

kilo17 · Apr 1, 2013

Here are a few items I recently picked up. The Fujitsu CPU's are nice, don't know much about them except someone on eBay is selling a board with 2 of them for $8500, if only the chips were really worth that much. Also some type of Gold Alloy that is 80-90% gold but I know little about it also... Any input about these items would be appreciated.... thanks in advance... Keith

do you know how old the stuff is keith? newer stuff seems to be gold over kovar, i think they call it, so if its older some basic base metal. tim

Actually I would be guessing but I got it with a bunch of old RF stuff, so I would guess its 80's stuff. Here is the stuff it came with.

telecom scrap.deceitfully deceptive in the amount of gold you will actually reclaim from it.it makes ones mouth water at the thought of all that delicious gold until you start to precipitate it and you are like "WTH, there should be ? times this much". been there and done that. not trying to discourage you but be very pessimistic about the yields.

Some of it I acquired with other items and some of it I bought because its cool. I don't even have a set up to process this stuff but I got some collectors items. Here is one that I got (although it was broken) that my wife stole today to frame and hang. It's double sided.
