or are there some other longcage derailleurs from 66 or earlier?

I have a huret jubilee as a back up plan, but its bit too new…

thanks!

...1966 is pretty early to be talking about what we today consider a long cage rear derailleur. I do not know it the aftermarket cage will work on an old Record derailleur. I've never tried to do that. Your best bet to research this would be either to read the appropriate chapter in Frank Berto's book, "The Dancing Chain", or to go over to Disraeli Gears and look through the rear derailleurs there using the by decade search tool.
