I am thinking of buying a second hand tester, but it is displaying error 52, any thoughts on what this means, and weather it needs to be repaired. Megger 1720

It's code for "uneconomic to repair" with the sub text "put me on ebay so some enterprising but overly optimistic electronics engineer will buy me hoping for an easy repair, but who will eventually give up and return me to Megger for a £300 fix, resulting in spending more than buying a fully working/calibrated one in the first place" ?

Agree. Don't buy ANY mft with a known problem. False economy.
You can get a trusty old 1553 with a 12 month calibration for £200-£300
Or a Kewtech KT63 is a fantastic tester and they come up for similar money.

OK thanks every one, I will avoid that one, just need a cheap meter for personal use, now i have retired
btw my 'cheap spare' is a Metrel 3125 and I really like it, to the point it is coming out to play more and more.
Di-log 9083p unit's are also cheap as chips and adequate.
