Replacement for Shimano RD-M700, Deer Head (with "Super Plate System")

Hi Guys

I have a 1980's Miyata 1000 ... it has the Shimano Deerhead groupset with the Shimano RD-M700, Deore XT (with "Super Plate System") rear derailier

I think I need to replace the jockey wheels as the one on top has terrible squeeking .... If I add bike oil or even WD40, the noise goes away, but after a day or two it returns

Can I get replacement Jockey wheels? )I've searched the internet and can't seem to find a replacement set ...

I've also read that these derailiers are not so robust. .... Can you suggest a suitable replacement?

My wheelset is modern (HED Belgium Plus rims, with a Royce rear hub and 6 speed freewheel (14-28) .... Front hub is Son 28

I have bar end shifters (friction)

I'm planning on riding long tours on this bike and need something that will be trouble free
