We report preliminary results of a radial velocity study of the old open cluster NGC 752 using an ensemble mean approach with Hydra multi-fiber spectroscopy on the 3.5-m WIYN telescope. The goal is to detect the higher amplitude extra-solar planetary systems and brown dwarf binaries that might reside in the cluster. The oscillation modes of mid-F stars at the redward edge of the instability strip can also be observed. The observation of NGC 752 is the first step in an ongoing study of a variety of clusters with different ages and metallicities.
