Most of the old timey ones don't have the squarish base part. If you take
all the shifter bits off and it looks kind of like this:

then you will be optimistic.

I just remembered I've got a complete stem shifter set-up that someone on
the list gave to me. It's yours if you want it. No idea about what it
looks like when you take the levers off.

Plug for the new IRD mounts here. I love stem shifting with new 9-speed
shifters.
If you can make it work with old mounts, that will be cool! If you decide it
won't work and mow some lawns, splurging on the IRDs would probably be
satisfying.
Are the ones from Doug old style or IRDs?

The ones I have are old style, I think. They are those ratchety kind like
came on cheap bikes. The mechanism feels similar to Sun Tour barcons.
They may even be Sun Tour.

One of those things that got swept away with the cheesy things of the past even
though it was not a cheesy thing. Guilt by association.
I think the fact that stem shifters have made a tiny comeback is a sign of how
good they are. Forum member Beth H brought them to my attention on good new
I found some bases and complete old-timey sets. So far it appears that
bolt size/threads are different than modern M5, but after that is
figured out, I may be able to get something to work.
