Congratulations.

Here's a direct link that should work for several weeks.

http://tinyurl.com/69988fg

It's going to need a replacement top derailleur pulley.

They show up regularly on eBay, sometimes for stupendous prices. Don't pay too much for one.

You can also use an old Suntour pulley. They had the same 10mm wide pulleys with 6mm mounting bolts.

When you take the pulley cage apart to replace the top pulley take the good one out too.

Throughly clean them in solvent (not lacquer thinner). Pack them full of grease when you reassemble them. The grease will help keep the dirt out.

Chas,
I really admire how your responses are not just to the individual poster, but with an intent to educate anyone who finds themselves here through a web search. You have helped me immeasurably long before I became a Gitaneusa member and continue to due so. All I can say is thank you. Your wisdom and knowledge (and bicycles) will continue on long after we are both dust. Through your sharing, you will live forever! You ARE the Dude!
