Hi Don,  Sorry but I don't see the attachment.  I have white meters in one of mine also, but they are not at all the real thing and I had to 'make' them work.  I would like to see yours.
Anyway, my meter needle is a little sticky and would like to try to fix it.  The bezel also needs refinishing and its easier if it's off the meter.  Here's links to pics of my meter in question:

It looks like rivets to me - what do you think?

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

Hi Larry, I have not disassembled any QVS Inc. meters but I can tell you 
that the International meters have four slotted screws that are REVERSE 
threaded. You may carefully try that with your meters. 73, Don WC4G

I have the subject meter that is a little sticky, but works other than that. 
I'd like to repair it and looked in the pearls, y2k, and this forum for some 
assistance, but could not find any for a qvs inc meter.  I'm having trouble 
disassembling it.  I have the rubber ring off of the bezel ok, but it looks 
like there are 4 hollow rivets (1 in each corner).  I tried unscrewing them 
and applied quite a bit of force, but no luck.  I tried pressing them out, 
but also with no luck.
Has anyone opened one of these up?  Can you give me some guidance, please. 
Thanks.
Regards, Larry
