;-) Clearing the snow from my glasses, I saw David Wollmann typed:

Why trash the mobo? If yer just gonna throw 'em out, I'll pay
shipping/packing to get them to me. I've replaced SIMM sockets on '386's &
stuff, they're really not that hard if you have the tools (decent solder
sucker, good soldering iron, *fine* solder, etc.). I don't suspect I'd have
any problems with 72-pinners, tho I've never done any (due to never had any
thrown [out] at me before...).

Just a thought,
