It depends on where and who is doing the service.  From what I've seen, prices range from $20 to $120 plus parts.

A very good friend, no charge
A good friend, let him pay for parts
Just a friend $30 for both...if not in bad shape.
..............Just my 2 cents ;).

I find that International clicker noise has always been all over the map..

I have put in new clicker plates, new springs in the clicker assy and still had light clicker noise.

Most of the ones I service, I stretch or shim the spring to get more tension on it to increase the noise. I am sure that accelerates the wear on the clicker plate, however.

Thanks for the reply, I have only one left out of four and they all sound the same. Just ordered a new clicker assembly for one that was missing, wow 32.00  :o

That's why I love the Senators. The clickers are very loud! With an aluminum spool, its even louder.
