General Information
Looks like this was one of the later Positron models made, seeing as this is one of the few existing with the dropped parrelelogram design. And this is most likely the immediate successor to the non dropped Positron DG-200 model, seeing as the DG-300 has replicated this mech's styling exactly- although having changed things technically a good deal. On the 'net, Disraeli Gears has some useful comments on this, and also points out how this design was even different to its dropped parrelelogram same period Shimano brothers, that (if the dropped parrelelogram change had only recently come on the scene, as I assume) must have been going through a period of considerable design flux at that time. Date code is GD.
