Metrix MX56C / BK Precision 5390 Multimeter Teardown
Vince:
- Got it wrong, original 10M was only 0.25W.... but I ordered an 500mW one, oh well, can't harm I guess, and it still fits in the enclosure so all is well.
- That Weller PCB stand came in quite handy to solder the 10M resistor on to the board.
- Soldering the RF shield back on.
Vince:
- Now we can put the meter back together again at last
- the 55 and 53C checking each other...
- The 53C measuring duty-cycle spot on from the old function gen.
- A complete and brand new MX 53C, with full calibration data and still the protective strip on the LC window, what more could one dream of ?!
Vince:
Mini comparative tear-down of the 53C vs the 54/55/56 :
- soldered RF shield replace by a foil in the back cover
- all the RMS related circuitry has disappeared from the back side of the main board
- as well as all the current shunt and analog switch of the mA ranges, on the top side of the PCB.
- potted precision network/divider had been replaced by a more modern ceramic substrate as we commonly find on the Fluke meters
- Quite a bit of corrosion on the negative terminal of the battery, but it cleaned up just fine, the PCB lower down, was still in good shape.
Vince:
Is it possible to have TOO MANY MX50s meters ?! I don't know... Aren't they cute, keeping each-other warm ?! :-)
I just happen to really love them ! LOL

I hope your weekend is free because I'm curious why your 53C doesn't support Hz and Surv like my BK 5360?
PS. Modemhead did all the modifications, without schematics too ;), on this meter. :-+
