[R-390] R390A qvs vu meter mod 150 type 8 repair

[Renee K6FSB]

Hi Guys-
I have had many makes apart and qvs is new to me too.
is it possible that they are press fit w/shouldered sleeves? pressed in 
from the rear? what does the other side look like?
Renée, K6FSB

> Sorry Larry, the QVS meter is new to me. I have disassembled the Simpson, DeJur, & International. Does you meter screws have a slot for a screwdriver? I would try and noodle out how it was assembled and try to take it apart. BTW why are you taking it apart, is the glass foggy or do you want to make a new face. I have done that with Simpson meter faces. I have a couple of white faces, one is original and I made the carrier dial. I know how important it is to have the correct meters in your R-390. Attached is a receiver with white meter faces.  Don
