After buying four 5-speed freewheels from different ebay sellers, NOT ONE fit on my old five-speed wheels properly (I think they are all made up with 5 cogs on 6-speed bodies), and seeing the $100+ prices on NOS Reginas, etc., I said screw this, cold-set the dropouts to 126 mm, and went with 6-speeds (14-24) on my old wheels (re-spaced) and 7-speeds on a new set.

But, the Ellis-Briggs FAVORI is still a ten-speeder:
