has gold in it, otherwise I can get anything ancient for next to
nothing (well depending who is running the shop when I show up).
I would expect no more than $5/lb (probably less) for that era of board
or about $5 or less per board in scrap value. The rest of the chassis,
maybe $5 in value without spending a lot in labor to separate the metals
out.
