The two small circles you see on the top is the end of the threads from the two screws on the underside holding it in place.
If you turn the arm around when it is off you will see the screwheads.

You have to demount the balance wheel/hairspring/stud from the cock.  Turn the balance cock over and you will find two TINY screws that you remove to free the jewel setting and the end stone.  The regulator arm usually simply snaps onto the setting above the cock.  BE CAREFUL and DO NOT BEND the regulator pins and don't lose the screws.  Can be a tough job for someone just starting out (not that you are), but you have to learn sometime.

 

BTW, this is not a shock setting for the balance cock.  The setting is rigidly fixed and not shock protected.

 

Good Luck,


RMD

Mark shows you how to remove the jewel setting in this video: The first part of the video shows the screw heads on the underside of the balance cock. In your case you will only have to clean and oil the jewel and not fit a new jewel like the rest of the video shows.

Agree with all above. If you decide to remove the endstone assembly, soak in naphta for a day or use penetrating oil on the screws, leave oil to soak-in over night. Sharpen a screwdriver to perfect fit, place the cock on a hard flat surface, press rather hard on the screwdriver, if it dosn,t unscrew easy, soak more.

These little screws get stripped easy.

This subject has previously been covered, Endsrones limit the staffs axial play thence all else including very important impulse jewel stays within bound, further pivot rests on endstone instead of pivot shoulder.

You can remove endstones to clean, peg and oil.

Put some penetrating oil on the two little screws, let sink in over night, unscrew the next day.

      Just missed it! I have a donor movement on its way. But thank you for the offer--I'll let you know if I need anything else.

      I've been intrigued by everyone's input here...so I decided to give this a shot. I bought the"typical" Pearl watch-machine basket and trays, for about $65. The trays are good,..the housing is a nightmare ! Thought it would take the mixer off my bench at anything above about 200rpm. The housing is cast of course,..and it's not "true" at all...so the harmonic vibration was insane. So,..I bit the bullet and bought the Elma housing and top. Not the baskets though, as the Pearl one's fit the Elma. Saved a bunch there. The basket and lid came to about $80 with shipping. The opening in the Elma top is 8mm, and the shaft that came with my stirrer is 6mm. I bought a piece of steel tube, 8mm O.D., and 6mm I.D. Cut off about an inch of the tube, and drove the rod into it. Gives a really snug fit.... Lightly champfered the leading edge of the 8mm section, then lightly tapped it into the top of the Elma lid. Spins like a dream now So... I have about $240 total into this including jars and steel mesh for the wave breakers   I'm pretty happy Best to you all   Randy

      Still haven't gotten around to getting stems or screws, but I did make my first attempt at polishing a case. I just used a soft mop and rouge to reduce my odds of ruining them, and I think they came up pretty nice. Also gave the crystals a polish on the same wheel while I was at it. They were both very badly scratched up. The one on the left is fairly beat up, but it'll still make for a decent presentation.
