Worth fixing this Proto 4749 ratchet ?

[Mark914]

Is it worth repairing this Proto 4749 rachet? The selector lever doesn’t lock in. What’s the approximate age of this? Thanks !

Not a big money item but probably fixable. From 60s

Make sure that your ratchet is assembled correctly. They often aren’t.
