Pair of 1963 varsitys

Gashep,
So you can make your own judgement, here is a photo of an original cage next to one of the NOS replacements on one of my derailleurs.
The drawing which I saved from somewhere suggests that the replacement may actually be an earlier version. Can't vouch for it's veracity though.

The drawing appears to show the early cage with a later style derailleur (the flat bracket for the later style opposed to the the rod on the earlier version

But I do know that the nos ones I have seen have the round post so they will work

A quick update, after about 2½ years of off and on looking I finally found a replacement cage, only $10

Everything is out there. Somewhere

So, it turns out that the cage that I bought is NOS, I could see it was in decent shape but when I got it today I see that it has never been used. I am very pleased.

As good as it gets!

Very hard to find!
Where did you find it?
Are any more available?

I found it on Ebay, it seemed like there were multiple available, but I checked last night and found nothing.

Interesting...I check Ebay every morning for "Huret" but didn't see it.

E-bay's search engine is just about useless lately. Too much sponsored junk taking up room and being promoted
