The odd one is normally used to hold the movement to the bracket which screws to the movement. You should have two brackets stabilizers to hold the clock to the wall so when winding the movement doesn't slip on the wall. Here is a photo of them complete.

Hi Willow, were these screws loose in the case ?    You have picked up a nice clock there, weight driven Vienna.

Hi watchweasol yes the screws were loose just can't see where they go, unless they don't belong to this clock

Hi oldhippy, yes there is two brackets already on the clock at the bottom of the case which i have screwd to the wall on the left side of the case, and the odd one there is already to screws that go through the bracket and screw into the movement to secure it do you think they could be from another clock.

Forgot to mention one of the screw you show in your image oldhippy one of mine is longer then the other why would that be or are they from different clocks?

There are many different ways of fixing these movements to the brackets inside the cases of these clocks . I's seem some where the screws are about 3 inches long with flat round brass heads. Others just held in place with pins. Could be they don't belong to that clock.

Yes that's what i think they belong to something else, like i said the screws are there to hold the movement in place.

Well it's ticking away ok but the hammer is missing the gong so i will adjust that and leave it running until i get round to servicing it, would you recommend changing the line for the weights.

    • You could also use a very fine artist's brush to brush between the coils.  If you gat a size 00 or even 000 that should be small enough for convenience, and with bristles so fine that they are incapable of damaging the hairspring.  Get a good one though, like Windsor-Newton or similar.  I have never had a Windsor-Newton brush shed on my art or other work.  You want a soft brush that will not shed.
    • Sounds interesting but how do you push the button if you’re holding both ends? the large current draw overheats after 3-5 seconds and the thermister triggers. A great tool for magnetizing things but I’ve not be able to ever demag anything with it because the emf is so strong it pulls the item off center (down or up).   I paid $89 bucks for it from  CAS-KER, if someone on the board wants it I’d gladly sell it for $25 plus shipping (probably US only otherwise postal costs are prohibitive). Just sent me a note offline.
    • Hi. First thing to do is measure your oil movement as the vx32E and the 43 look very similar but one is a couple of mill smaller the vx32E.  Also the canon pinion heights differ attached tech sheets for 7N22. And  VX43, check details on the sheets. 7N22A_29A_33A_42A_43A.pdf VX43.pdf Hattori VX32E - Specification.pdf Hattori VX32E - Disassemble.pdf

    • I was spitting out flowers and leaves for 10 minutes,  fortunately 3  people saw it and promptly whipped out their phones to film the quick " nothing to see here " recovery  🤣🤣
