Yeh interesting, strange that the cable would snap, i guess he cut it short when removing them from the bike.
If you cant take them apart then i dont know what you can do, if you have a local and trustworthy shop you can take it to them and see if they know if its fixible, if you're lucky they might know the problem and give you some advice.@Eeyorecore interesting hack that, ive tried swapping record parts to non record parts and often ran into problems with there being small tolerance issues making neither compatible.
Ive tried mostly with the 9speed ti stuff and record 10s.

After a bit more fiddling I managed to get the spool in the right position and fed a cable through. Under tension it seems to be winding in and out when shifting so hopefully it's working again, won't know for sure until it's all connected up on a bike I guess.

Ive tried mostly with the 9speed ti stuff and record 10sI’ve never had problems with 10 speed Record and Chorus compatibility. There are some issues with compatibility and lower tiered groups.
Around 2008ish when campy was flushing out a lot of 10 speed parts I stuck a Chorus alloy long cage on a Record short cage body, and gutted a left chorus shifter and replaced the brake levers on both with carbon Record blades.
Ran those in conjunction with a Modolo front downtube shifter, some TA triple cranks, XTR triple front derailleur, and IRD 11-32 campy cassette.
Bike nerd heaven.

I managed to wrangle the toothed ratchet back round so it engages with the lever mechanism again but if I do too many clicks down it slips round again and won't engage. I can get a cable fed through but shifting is not winding the cable in so something is obviously in the wrong position or out of alignment. The left shifter was the one which had the piece of cable snapped off inside the body so maybe that had something to do with it?
The perils of buying stuff on eBay! I messaged the seller and he said he had them working before but would do a refund or a discount if they were genuinely not working/damaged.
Tempted to start taking it all apart but might not get it back together again.
