Hi all, is it possible to run factor analysis in R such that the routine returns - unstandardized factor scores (according to the original scale) - rotated factor scores (these may be standardized) So far I have only found the possibility to return standardised unrotated factor scores.

I think you must be using `scores' in a different sense from ?factanal and the references therein. The scores are determined by the loadings plus a fitting method. It makes no sense to rotate scores and not loadings, and the scores are always on the original scales.
