What methods do you use to test LM239 comparators?

Perhaps you meant something else?

No, I'm trying to find these chips in boxes now, I'll find them and take a photo. I can wrap them like hot chocolate. LM339, should be TI, but I don't remember exactly.

OK I think I understand now.
Plastic of the case behaves like thermoplastic, getting soft..
Yes if you have that, those are very fake chips.
I assure you that original chips by any real factory is made from different material that will not behave like that.
Not only TI , but any real factory even from third world countries.

My go to is a Schmitt trigger oscillator. Here's an example of one I simulated, to test this simplest model I could come up with for an open collector comparator. The LED should flash at about 1Hz. You could build 4 to test your LM239.

Yes, this looks very much like what is needed. Thank you. I would like to determine the leakage of 1 MOhm between arbitrary points of 4 comparators, I will try.

I haven't found the chips themselves yet, but I did find a photo of me soldering the LM339. When I find the chips, the markings will be clearly visible.
