SunTour barend shifters - ratchet style?

Are all SunTour bar end shifters (barcons) "ratchet-style"? I have a set for sale, and someone has inquired if they are the ratchet style. I thought they all were, but perhaps I am mistaken. Can someone please confirm, or let me know how I might determine this?

They were taken from a '77 Raleigh Super Grand Prix. Here's a pic.


Many thanks in advance.

those certainly are...it could be that some of the later Accushift (indexing) don't use a "ratchet" but they would click with the detents. It's possible to mis-adjust the tension on these so the ratchet doesn't work, but that's user error....easy enough to correct if they aren't broken.

Interestingly, the "ratchet style" BarCons have a sound eerily similar to this tool.
