New Megger Multitester line?

[DaveyD]

Hi

Does anyone have infr on the new Megger multester line due out in Jan 2011?
I'm needing a tester and just wondering if its worth the wait and/or if the 1552/3 will be sold off/discounted when the new line comes in.

Any clue? Thanks in advance.
Regards
David

RS have got it on their site

RS Components | Electronic and Electrical Components

I would also say with some certainty that the MFT1552/3
will be discounted in the new year.

Might be some good deals on the 1500 series next year then.

Looks like the boffins at Megger have decided to use a little of the Fluke design with the positioning of the lead sockets and button positions, which I think is good.

Better start saving

It's really annoying got a family member that works for them but never get any samples will have to get saving now got the original 1502/2 and it's looking a bit battered. I like the look of the rechargeable battery pack on the new one. saves buying 8 of the bloody things every other month.

Yuck!!

i can't find it on the megger site.

It's not on there because it's not officially released and they did not want to stop people ordering the current model, it's only in RS because the web site reflects the catalogue and that is only printed twice a year.

6-900 quid

good to see test buttons on both sides

Pricing is on RS website for the one that looks like it replaces the MFT1552 at £685 where they price the MFT1552 at £667 so it looks like the new ones are about the same porice as the old.

MFT1710, MFT1720, MFT1730 now seem to be listed on test-meter website, although at same price as RS, still at least you can get the forum discount!
