Rare piece of history. We all have this to thank for indexed gears!

Not even seen one of those before.

So what's going on under the black plastic cover saying "positron"?

Is the indexing done on the mech instead of the shifter?

Interesting find! ๐Ÿ™‚

The most weird thing about it was the solid wire in the cable, which pushed as well as pulled the derailleur. No return spring needed.
