The websites for gold recovery pretty much say
anything gold plated (unless it is over sterling silver that is recoverable) isn't
worth the energy to recover. Gold plating is so precise these days you can plate a layer a
few atoms thick. I figured some chips had gold interconnects so melting a small pile of
them would get you a decent amount of gold after chemical separation.
And do you have some experience or evidence about the thickness of gold
plating on expensive computer equipment manufactured in the 1970s when
gold was considerably less expensive?
