The components are rare but not valuable. The rear derailleur is especially interesting. It looks like it may be one of the last hurrahs from the Simplex-Ofmega merger.

Thx for that info, RE: the simplex derailer i can buy a 440 version where it looks like the same center beam with the same placement of the adjustment screws and the control wire attachment, Do you think it would be doable to replace only the broken center beam part by pushing out the 4 pins and replace them back after new part is inserted??
The reason for the use of a 440 is that I cant find a 630/640 to buy to replace the whole unit.
