Op amp tester?

[Axtman]

Has anyone built an op amp tester? I have a bunch of loose 8 pin dual op amp chips that I want to test. Thanks!

Plug them into something. All the little practice amps in the world have one or maybe two op amp ICs inside. Plus a power amp IC. Put a socket under one of the ICs and now the little amp is a op amp tester.

Or you could whack out a small amp on a board, like the innards of a boost pedal. And use that.

I have one that I built on a old breadboard, but found these inexpensive kits for single or dual opamp testers. The kit instructions give the schematics if you'd like to build them instead of buying them.
