Be forewarned, its not going to be cheap. If you want a cheaper alternative, check Riv's Silver Shifter - same friction shifting using a similar type of ratchet system (Power Ratchet or something like that).

I paid $47 a few months back on Ebay for a pair in excellent condition.

Here's a second on the Riv Silver Shifter suggestion. I have a pair of the originals (Sun Tour Sprint) mounted in old Shimano bar end pods on my Kogswell. They're the nicest feeling friction shifters I ever tried, and unlike the old Simplex, they are current production, not rare collectibles.
