Came across a nice lot of vintage circuit boards at an Estate Sale recently. Wondering if there’s anything here that was used for prop builds. If you recognize anything please comment.

My observations of the boards, clockwise from upper left;

A: A30-pin edge connector printed circuit board for Four (4) 14-pin Dual In Line (DIP) Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. The edge connectors are split between 14 and 16 connectors. (This might be a Scientific Control Corporation board, but the logo does not seem to be correct for that company.)

B:“Flip Chip” printed circuit board with 18-pin edge connectors. Flip chip also known as controlled collapse chip connection or its abbreviation, C4, was a component mounting technology. Flip chip technology eliminates the need for wire bonds . Although used for ICs, the alternating alignment of the leads on this board might mean this was used for LEDs.

C:16-pin Dual In Line (DIP) Integrated Circuit (IC) Prototyping Board. Large copper pads along the outside made it easy to make solder connections without over heating the chip. This board can hold two ICs.

D: A single 16-pin chip prototyping version of D.

E: A 15-pin edge connector PCB connected to an early prototyping “stripboard”. This one has twelve copper traces (strips) on one side. The other side “appears” to have 16 perpendicular copper traces for cross-connection. The board is two-sided but does not have through-plated holes.

F: I cannot tell from the image. This might be two independent PCBs stacked on top of one another, or a 22-pin “sandwiched” printed circuit board which “could” provide four, interconnected circuit traces. Top surface originally held five (5) 16-pin ICs and various discrete components.

HOLY CANOLI! Well now I know who to go to for board identification! I take it you work/worked in the industry? Nice information right there!

Wow, thank you sir. I wasn’t expecting that depth of analysis. Very informative. Much appreciated.
