Think you're out of luck for a new one https://www.innoventions.com/ so keep an eye on evilbay etc, they were probably quite expensive.

PC Stats review with an idea of the pricing https://www.pcstats.com/articles/1174/index.html

The used price might be holding or increasing since they are unobtanium new now. I'd expect you'd have go through a couple of dozen shoeboxes full of scrap lot RAM before it pays for itself.

Yes good ram testers are very expensive IF you can find one. Had a chance to get a used one that did all DIP ram types plus 30pin and 72 pin SIMMS for about $300 a few years ago.

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun

I saw one super cheap in the noughties, when "everywhere" thought we were so done with SIMM and SIPP RAM, they wanted $120 for it.... but it was a huge industrial pedestal unit, floor standing, not sure if you could cut them down to just a benchtop wedge or not.
