Frequently Asked Questions
What is the expected gold yield from this material?
Plating thickness and total precious metal yield vary widely across component types and original manufacturing specifications. Total recovery depends on the chemical or metallurgical extraction method used.
Are any of the electronic components functional?
This material is sold strictly as scrap for metal reclamation. Components have clipped leads, crimped sleeves, or extraction marks and are untested.
What is the physical condition of the hardware in this parcel?
All pieces are sold as-is for material salvage and recovery. Expect wire remnants, solder traces, contact wear, and mixed plating coverage across the ~ 120-gram lot.
Back when these contacts were stamped, engineers laid down real gold to keep critical signals clean in unforgiving hardware. Now they pass to your beaker or bench to yield whatever honest metal they still carry.
