Frequently Asked Questions
What exact components are included in this scrap assortment?
The assortment contains mixed scrap items including connector contact pins, TO-3 packages, RF connectors, DIP socket hardware, and gold finger card edge material.
Has any gold yield or purity assay been conducted on this lot?
No chemical assay or yield testing has been performed. The material is sold strictly as mixed, unrefined electronic scrap.
What should I expect regarding component functionality?
This is scrap material intended for metal recovery or salvage. Parts are untreated and untried for original circuit function, and buyers absorb condition risk for refining or parts harvesting.
Pounded into gold leaf or dissolved in an acid bath, vintage scrap always holds honest metal. Turn the bench into a mini-refinery and pull back what the engineers laid down decades ago.
