Wanted early 80's Shimano MTD rear Derailleur for early Ridgeback

[Synthiaks]

After one of these for my 84 (?) Ridgeback....can't find any ref other than pics of it on a few MTBs on here.....looks like an M-700 with logo variaition? can find plenty of the deerhead version, but not this? Its listed as Shimano MTD on the XT spec sheet.










Can't even see it mentioned on this amazing website https://www.disraeligears.co.uk/site/derailleur_brands_beginning_with_s.html



If I can't get one then will go Deerhead, unless anyone has a better suggestion?

It's a Shimano RD-AL11, lower spec than M700.

thanks....got one on ebay with that info....had already snagged a deerhead but will use the RD-AL11 now so its close to original.

Much appreciated!
