Look for a local smelting service. They will take your boards (in bulk, we used to send them 300lbs at a time) and then credit you back for the precious metals recovered (gold, silver, platinum, etc...) minus any fees for service. Shipping costs a

BAD COMPANY???? Or good Business? $14,000 fee for a machine not purchased from the OEM is for a Service Contract, not a licensing fee. For this, you get four 5 day service trips over a year and 20% parts purchased for used machines. Considering the
