A file would cure that click I'm sure or maybe just leave as is to be safe. I would be cautious that the plastic of those spools and handle knob might suffer from brittleness in its old age. I had a Swiss reel called a Monti Super once, great reel with a decent sale value.

Re: Blue Flash
Apologies Jokki, I also meant to reference your Bläsi in my earlier reply to Russell Brown but the combination of a new phone, sitting in a field with sporadic signal, a couple of pints of cider and a bit too much sun scuppered my plans!
The Bläsi and Record are almost identical internally too.
