Ok folks-
I'll take all the radio active metres, no problem in dealing with them. I
regularly deal with far worse. 

Seriously folks use common sense!  this applies to more than just the
metres. Think first..

if you are only doing a few , no big deal, but do take some simple
precautions like keep it off your skin (like use gloves latex or nitrile)
and work with a slight air flow across the work area. don't play with it
, fix it and reassemble it.

some of the simpson metres with the bakelite case, the glass is recessed
and the rubber seal has glued itself to the case and the glass. To open
it I machined four 1/8 inch slots one on each side so as to get a
"prybar" under the glass. Be careful and patient.
