SL-6208 downtube shifters
Price drop!
Shimano 600 downtube shifters, 6 speed indexing. Great condition.
$30 $20 net; shipping is included.
Please note:
I have added a photo as suggested, which shows one of the tabs that mesh with the contour washer is missing; 5 remain.

These 600s have the power ratchet in friction mode?
I’ve got a set of Shimano- maybe exage- on another bike-friction only. Just a great feel to them.

DR, you’re a long term and highly respected BF member, but please show a photo of the condition of the tabs on the indexing side. Yours may be perfect, but these are the weakest shifters Shimano ever produced, as the tabs were made of pot metal and broke easily. Once gone- useless. Thus, a photo of the tabs will enable potential buyers to determine endlife status, especially as the levers themselves appear to be in outstanding condition.

I don’t believe so, but maybe someone else can answer that. These were on the bike when I bought it, but I upgraded to 8 spd pretty quickly.

If I'm not mistaken, the index pod in the rear lever can be swapped for any DA unit, up to and including 11 speed.
