can anyone advise how to take it appart to glue the glass back in?<div></div>

First match of a Google search for:

found a fully informative page. Google is really handy, please try searching before asking.

What is wrong with him asking here? Perhaps we might all learn something about these nice old meters. Yes, Mr. Lewis could look on his own and then none of us would benefit.

 

I have a Master IV that I did the same thing to a month ago. Assuming the meters are basically the same, it was a straightforward job to remove the selector dial on the front and the name plate on the back. Underneath you will find two screws hold the case together. I cleaned the old adhesive off with goo-gone and used clear epoxy to glue the glass back in place. Reassembly is as easy as disassembly.

This disassembly doesn't fo far enough. You'll also need to remove the display mechanism (two nuts on the black metal plate) and remove the meter assembly (two screws on the bottom plus the grounding strap). Pay close attention to the springs and the moving parts of the dispaly assembly since you'll need to get them back together in the same way the factory assembled the meter.
