Subject: [CR]Suntour stem ratchet shifters question

I have close to NOS Suntour stem ratchet shifters (just bought on ebay) that don't ratchet. They have adequate friction though. I haven't mounted them on the bike or applied load. I see no gears inside. What could be wrong? I have a set of Shimano ones that ratchet fine without being mounted. Don't get it. Am I missing something?
