Uh, just came to think of something... those old Sun Tour shifters have a rather coarse ratchet mechanism. Many times the stepping in between stops in the ratchet does not allow for a good enough fine tuning of the position of the chain for a nine-speed system, and you can't get the chain in line of the cog just right. That can happen with the new and modern ratchet shifters as well, but rarely.
