I'm considering the purchase of an F4 toggle which has a 1-9 adjusting ring. The seller states that the ring turns tightly, but does not lock into any position. Is this normal, easily repairable, or something I should stay away from?

By locking, I mean there is no click detent at each number setting.
I've had a few that were stiff but adjusted fine. Simply see if the seller offers a refund if this doesn't work. Only way to find out is get your hands on it.

I'm not as worried about the adjustment being stiff as the fact that there is no click stop at the numbers. Is this normal?
+1....Like rx says.... See if refund/return is possible if it does not work.
There is no way to know for sure till you have it and try to clean it up, but it may just be gunked up. I think in general Toggles are tighter than say Fat Boys, but a clean Toggle would click at the numbered stops.

Thanks. I think I'm passing on this one. These things cost too much darn $ to risk getting one that doesn't work right.
I saw a YouTube video that talked about the toggle and one of them didn't click. They said that it was so that you could do half adjustments. I'll see if I can find it.
I've "taken a chance" on two toggles on ebay and had to send both of them back. I've found that the sellers seem to either not know what the heck they're talking about or just really really downplayed the condition of the razor. I've decided to stop hunting for one and if one in pristine condition comes across my path at a decent price then I'll take it.
Mine clicks. it is firm, but smooth to turn and has soft clicks, softer than a fatboy anyway.
Someone sniped that right out from under me. Got it at a good price, even if it was a rough one.
Mine clicks as well but in the video they have one that has a longer toggle that stops halve way one way and also doesn't click. Not saying that this is the case with this toggle. I'm just saying that there are toggles that don't click.
Good luck.
Good luck.
I made a video of mine awhile back. F4. This shows how a sound one behaves mechanically.

That is Matt from Razor Emporium, he has a serial number Prototype 1 to 5 dial gold Toggle. They supposedly don't click and only and the toggle only goes to one side to open.I found it here they talk about this model at about 4:55. It sounds like a special toggle
You may have a serial numbered prototype 1-5 Toggle. Do hve a date code or numbers on yours?
All my Toggles click and adjust accordingly. When i do take one apart to fix i can usually find the main issue is gunk.
