      Thanks for your most appreciated assessment with this. I will purchase a new movement.

      Sorry I am confused by step 4. Which screw? There is the balance cock screw. I don’t think that is what you are talking about. The only other screw I see is on the side of the swan neck regulator. I do t think that is the one you are talking about either Well I managed to make it worse again but I could take pictures.  I had put the balance cock partially in place with one locator pin in. I wanted to remove it and I know I should use my screwdriver in the slot to move it off the pin but I didn’t l pulled wit my tweezers and it stuck then gave suddenly and was thrown a few inches away and of course the hairspring got tangled (a coil was above the cock) and untangling it from the cock deformed it.    I am going to try to put it back in shape and I will likely post more pictures after shortly. I’ll wait for feedback before reattaching it to the cock

      OK, bad video... Almost all of them are. To attach the spring (stud) to the cock: 1. Put the cock on the table top upside down.  Open the regulator if closed. 2. Put the balance on , align the stud above the hole for it in the stud carrier. 3. Help the stud to get in the hole by gentle pressing. 4. When it is in, grasp the cock with balance with tweezers (from aside, not from above), then get it between fingers, not changing the horizontal position, then tighten slightly the screw. This is the moment to correct the high position of the stud - it's top must be even with the carrier. Now tighten the screw. 5. If the outer coil is out of the regulator, move the regulator to the max to '+' position, then guide the spring to get in the regulator. Now You can return the regulator where it was and close it above the spring

      Newly interested in watch servicing & repair.  Just ordered a few basic tools and a cheap Seagull movement to practice on.  I hope this turns out to be a rewarding hobby (intellectually, not financially.  Really not expecting financially 🙂).  Just wanted to say hi and no doubt I'll be back for advice.
