That's in nice shape, I'd run that as is. I've got a spare STX you can have cheap if you want a choice.Wow! Thx both...explains lots...SIS -Aaah -Yes I've seen that of course... Sorry having a Joe Biden moment there...
KMC/Sram do some cool stuff...must admit that I bought a Shimano Deore LX RD-M567 for £15.00 on Flea bay...looks fine to me..What the Mrs don't know......
Saw an STX -that seemed like a candidate, looked older too. Anyway LX paid for , await shipping...

Well that just opens up a whole new ballgame hmmm finkin'You can always strip it down and put the body in paint stripper to make it less shiny and be left with a nice alloy body.
I wouldn't use any tools to remove as you want to avoid scraping marks as the finish underneath with be a nice tumbled finish (where they put components in a rotating drum a balls/abrasives to clean up and create a uniform finish prior to paint).
Unless you wanted to polish it up? Some people love polishing stuff...
Then you get get a Campagnolo sticker for it, or as you have the skills you could hand write a Campagnolo logo, or Shimagnolo (or variations!) logo if you wanted to be creative! Some wax over the top to stop it from oxidising and Bob's (not) your uncle before @Guinessisgoodforyou comments!
Makes it more retro. I use to strip my mechs on my 90's MTB and paint the bodies a dark blue, just because I could.Well that just opens up a whole new ballgame hmmm finkin'
Only at the weekend. Shimergo would be better or ShimpaganoloIf there's good paint base there -Etch Primer, then good to go -unless you want the shiny stuff, 400, 800, 1200, 1500, 3000 grits and 'Snip, snip Bob's yer aunty'.
