Atthis point, as for the der. angle, all I have to go by are pics.......as long as it's nothing obviously unfixable, like a busted internal spring or something, I'll be happy. (I heard that these Shimano der.s are not serviceable/can't get parts for 'em... and I don't want to have to replace one when I'm paying top dollar for an old bike)
Again, that model is designed to sit well forward, and the position can be adjusted with the B-tension screw. As the bike has a pretty small block freewheel it's understandable that the derailleur is pivoted more forward. As I noted before the derailleur seems to be holding the chain under tension just fine, so there is not issue with the spring.
