ISTR trying to cure with just a tiny drop of blue Loctite, but never getting it quite right. My cure was to install Suntour "power" shifters, with a fine toothed internal ratchet to help fight the derailleur's return spring.

First, I'm quite amazed you managed to break a downtube shifter. I'mI still own the bike out of nostalgia, but the broken parts got into the
very curious about details, both how it happened and what specifically
broke.
trash more than two decades ago.
AFAIR, some part of the internal mechanism broke during riding in heavy
traffic, while switching, losing retention. Didn't notice it
immediately....
