I took both Simplex derailleurs off my wife's bike. They functioned, but yikes, shifting was rough. Maybe they were better when new.
I also broke one of the pulleys while putting the rear wheel back on, then broke the other one shortly after I replaced the first with one off of a Suntour RD (good thing I already had an extra spare). I'd never had a pully break before.
