Hi all Can you get replacement jockey wheels for XT735 era rear mechs ? If so , where from ? Thanks H :)

I might have just bought a 90 Muddy Fox Pathfinder , I say might because the seller informs me that he has just looked and the headset won't tighten up as the thread is stripped on the steerer. I would like to avoid swapping the forks as the paint is in great condition and it's in the nice neon...

A per the title , been hanging in my garages for 20 years + you can see where it was hanging on the hook , but should go back in shape. I've run my fingernail over the gum bit and it seems ok , not flakey or crusty. But I'm not comfortable selling it as I can't guarantee it. Black bit seems ok...
