Thanks for the information, I'll bear this in mind the next time I find 
one at a decent price.
I'm still looking for an R4mot electronic and a late model R4 for my 
collection, the basis of which is  to find one of the first and one of 
the last
of each SLR model in perfect working order, looks like this may be a 
little difficult in the case of the first R4 model but I'll keep trying.
