I need help identifying what category a few things
are in:

1. A 1977 Honeywell board with only one of its
chips a Gold Cap & Gold Leg chip. I have a few
of these boards

2. An old (~1980s) Memory Array board. I
have a few of these.

3 The small board under an old hand calculator
that has much gold color metal on both sides.

I am going to try to post pictures now. This is
my first post. And the system was having problems
today. So there may be a delay before I post
the pictures.

Thanks for any help.

1 If there is a gold cap on a board, thats enough. Having multiple is nice but not what makes the grade. That being said, heatsinks, batteries and such should be removed and if you want to be sure your board is good to go you should still try and post a picture.

2 without a picture can't be certain but likely high Telco

3 hard to say, calculator boards can vary widely and gold color may or may not fully determine value

Thank you Marked141. I posted the first 2 pictures
with a new topic message, sorry. And the calculator
pictures (2) are here. It is a few decades old (~1980s)
and weighs about 30 grams.

The Honeywell is gold cap board
The memory board is high telco

The calculator is an old scientific calculator
I see no problem with high telco in this case. Of note here is generally these shiny boards are not as valuable as they appear but I’m aware of what this is. So best to ask when you see these. (Most newer ones are high peripheral).

Thanks lostinlodos. I appreciate the
help. The calculator board weighs on 30
grams, so I will keep it as a memorable.

I also have another Honeywell (1978)
Board(s), about 10 similar, that looks to
be High Telecom. I am going to post the
picture, and others, on the Identification forum, where
I think it goes better. Thanks again.
