Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Step one, check if it's the shifter or maybe a cable issue. Pull the wire away from the frame like a bowstring, then work the shifter. If you don't feel any cable movement, then it's either a broken shifter, or possibly the cable's head isn't engaged. OTOH, if you feel cable movement, then it's simply a matter of pulling out all the slack, and resetting the cable at the Ft derailleur pinch bolt.
