Anybody have a spare 7 speed rear shifter?

I just picked up an old Raleigh Pointe MTB with a screwed up Shimano 200GS 7 speed rear shifter. Tried soaking it in WD40, but to no avail. Then I disassembled it, and in the process killed it for good. It's dead.

Anybody have a spare working one of these off an old junk bike, or something in a similar vein? Will gladly pay for your troubles, or send you an equally valued piece of junk in return.

This would be a good time to go 9 speed.

Yeah, he would only need a completely new drivetrain and wheelset.

Considering I only paid $10 for the whole bike, that's probably not going to happen
