General Information
First version of the Super LJ derailleur: arm on the front, hollowed clamp axle working as a cable guide, "S"-engraved plate.  This one is a Super LJ for sure as it is case with the letters L.J and Super on the back side of the very beefy clamp area.  I"ve seen this derailleur in an October 72 suppliment catalog, which suggests it was released for the 73 model year.  I have also seen this derailleur marked as the SLJ A500 in the 9/1975 Simplex catalog.
