Thank you Chuck and Charlie!

Charlie - I already heard back from Robert Freeman, who is working the case for me. Thank you for that!

Have you heard from Robert Freeman recently, because I had to go through Ken Buchanan two months ago. Robert had health problems.

Hi Chris,
I'm a year behind in the same process you went through. I live in Chile and I'm restoring an R5. I hope to reach out for photos or assistance with parts I'm unsure about. I'm following the official parts manual and have purchased many used parts from Mark Huggett GmbH. If you ever upload photos of your R5, please let me know. I've been compiling folders with R5 photos found online.
Regards,
