Bombed LC475, can I reuse the on-board DRAM chips?

This LB is gone, can I save the 8 x 2Mb RAM chips and create a 2MB 72 pins SIMM or a 30 pins SIMM?
2MB is not much, but maybe better than leaving them there.
I can't find a PCB GitHub project for this scenario

(Yes, I'll remove the CPU)

you could, but you'd probably be spending more money doing so than just buying a 2mb simm
 
@finkmac. Got it. Still, I think we’re not usually driven by rational decisions or economic logic.
If saving money were the goal, we wouldn’t be buying rusty old junk—we’re driven by passion ;)
 
try to salvage all the chips lined up near the connectors, those include proprietary chips that are useful to restore other 475 LB… Cuda, audio chip, NCR SCSI, etc. also, the inductors.
