Just broke the pulley wheels on an old 5 speed Shimano Tourney Derailleur. The RD as a whole is pretty grim so I'm not inclined to replace the whole thing.
99% it's friction shifter. Am I best off getting this:

Or is there a more easily available new 5 speed compatible RD I could use?
Cheers.
EDIT: this looks like a better option: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Shimano-Tourney-TY-15-Rear-Derailleur-New-Old-Stock-TY-15-SS/382290846290?epid=1941471965&hash=item59024f6252:g:K78AAOSwUuFWvof-
