Does anyone here still actively wire wrap circuits? I am thinking
about dumping my inventory of nice machine pin wirewrap sockets.
Lately they have been selling like lead balloons.
Contact me off list.

I don't do it often, but I do still wire wrap. What do you
have and what are you looking to get for them?
I am not too far away, over the border in PA. Used to live
in The Hudson Valley and still make fairly often trips to
West Point.

I will start to gather them up. Basically, 25 cents for little guys
(14s, 16s, etc), 50 cents for big guys (24s, 28s, 40s), and a buck for
28s and 40s with full gold plate.
Obviously all DIPs.

I might think that the 40s with full plate on the pins might be a buck
or so each.

A lot of precious metal scrappers have wildly
differing opinions on that.
And there are a lot of dreamers out there too
I had 1.8 lbs of 1970's bell labs wire wrap pins up on ebay for a while, someone in
texas assayed a few
and claimed there was only $200 worth of gold in them
I also could only get maybe $200 for 9u wire-wrap panels with over 3000 pins on them

ARRgh!? Not more than a few milligrams per the usual DIP sockets. Likely
not worth the trouble of grinding them up to extract the gold from all
that base metal.

And people would make WW panels that way. I have a small one that's just rows of
push-in pins like that (with pins 7 and 14 bused to power buses). From Augat, I think.

So I received many requests for WW sockets - more than I thought I
would - so I am going to pick two people at random to deal with. If
you do not hear from me, do not despair - if either of the two I
originally picked flakes out or something, you may get reselected!
Anyway, the sockets are likely not going to the scrap!
