I’m currently have a E011 movement taken apart while assembling it I notice 2 small gold springs had fallen out. Not sure where they came from. I assume they are part of connecting the solar panel and circuit board. Any help on there placement will be appreciated

When asking questions always helpful to give more information like who made this watch and maybe a picture of the gold parts. So I googled and looks like it's a citizen and I'm attaching the service manual not seeing anything that looks like cold Springs though? So hopefully I guessed correctly for who made the watch. Also the citizen manual isn't as nice as a Seiko because Seiko usually is a parts list citizen we don't owe parts lists I can't see if there's anything that looks like gold springs but there are some technical drawings.

The next helpful thing to do would be to get me a picture Of the spring so I can confirm what they look like.

Also a picture of the backside of the circuit board in other words the circuit board that faces towards the movement because we should build a look and see where the contacts go in other words there should be some pads for them the push on you might even see the impression into the circuit board where they were pushing.

    • Hello, looking forward to participating on the forum here! I will mostly be listening and asking questions since I am an amateur hobbyist. I have most of the beginner hand tools and a Timegrapher. The extent of my tinkering consists of a successful Seiko 7S26 to NH36 movement swap inside an all original 1997 SKX007, along with a bunch of battery changes for friends and family. I have yet to tackle full disassembly and cleaning. Right now, I don't really have the budget or time to invest in a cleaning setup (even manual cleaning), but hopefully soon! I joined because I recently purchased a mechanical Timex Camper from 1994, and my searches for information regarding servicing and swapping out these Timex mechanical movements consistently led me to Watch Repair Talk. There is also a wealth of knowledge here about dial design, another area of interest for me. My other hobbies includes leather working (mostly small pieces, shoes eventually), crochet, sewing (would love to make clothing), design (especially type design), home espresso, cocktails, and tennis. I want to buy a film camera, but I don't need yet another expensive hobby involving last-century technology. Yes, I have ADHD.
