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.
Yes,I think sunlight wouldn't do the spools any good at all.I removed the rotor yesterday and tweaked the trip lever but the click won't go away.Tomorrow........I'll file it. 👍
After a bit of filing,Blue Flash no longer clicks.👍
Hooray :huray:

The company is called Bläsi
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! :cheers:
The Bläsi and Record are almost identical internally too.
