Hi, I would like to fix the tiny glass that covers the top of the light meter on my Yashica Mat 124g. It has come loose and needs to be glued from inside. How do I remove the light meter at the top of the camera and take it apart?

There are screws on the back-side of the name plate, This will loosen it from the body. Don

thanks..i took it apart and decided to remove the glass and the silver reflecting surface as both were poorly glued and very loose. I then re-assembled the camera and covered the light meter opening from the top with the same glass sightly modified (made smaller). Somewhat less elegant but way more functional. Here's how it looks now...modified light meter screen
