Subject: [CR]Self-shifting 3-speed S/A

I have a delightful bike, a Hercules 3-speed that weighs what any two of my other bikes together do. I've been riding it around town and have found that it seems to shift out of first gear all by itself far too often.

I tried tightening the one screw on the trigger but that didn't seem to help. Anything else I can do? Are replacement shifters available? Is this a shifter issue and not related to the hub (I can't see how it would be related to the hub.)

TIA.
