I need all of the internal bits for 2 sets campy braze on shifters, one of which is for a set of pantoed gazelle waiting to go onto the frame on

the bike stand behind me in the living room. One of our kind listmembers, the one that originally gave me the levers, offered a set, but i know that he will butcher another perfectly good set for them. Is there anywhere i can pick older replacement campy bits?

the butchering aspect just seems to correlate with the generation of waste that i encounter with my trips to the grocery store disposing the immense amount of packaging .
