Hi Jason, we do have an Instron 5969 in our lab that is accessible to industry partners (message me if interested). If you want to purchase a used frame, I would look at Deja Vu lab for a good refurbished frame like Compression Crush Tester | Deja Vu Lab and Test Equipment. I have a contact there if you need.
