New jockey wheels for c. 1978 derailleur

Hi
The jockey wheels on my Shimano 600EX RD-6200 rear derailleur are badly worn. The bike has 5 sprockets and friction shifters. Can anyone suggest new jockey wheels that would be compatible?
 
I got some on eBay, the black plastic ones. Look for the ones for 5/6/7-speed compatible and you can get them with proper bearings instead of plain bushes. Look for some with the same number of teeth too. I think they were about £10 and came with a selection of spacers depending on the width of the derailleur.
