Shimano LX M563 rear derailleur: restore service clean disassembled Dismantled

Nothing special. A LX rear derailleur given some love and a final farewell, before it’s passage towards the afterlife. Possibly on of the longest running Shimano rear derailleurs. Although the cage changed, the same body and design lasted till the late 90s. Going from M560, M563, M565 and M567. Don’t think there was a M569 rear derailleur, though there was a M569 group including shifters and crank. Eventually the mega 9 M570 would terminate the long running LX work horse.
