   I did they have what i need for good price, the break was the lever
   in the cap iron, plus i big chip on the cap iron where my hand goes.
   I need to put a wood floor are a rubber matt by my bench, so if I drop it I might not break it. thanks mark

   For rubber mats, take a trip to your nearest Lowes.  Lowes has (IIRC) 3' X 3' rubber mas made for this very purpose.  I bought 4 @ (IIRC) around $15.00.  Easy on the feet and real tool savers.

   The reason I asked about the break was that if it was just the lever, you can still adjust the blade and simply tight the cap screw.  My deceased father did the same thing with a 60-1/2 and he used that method PLUS a piece of folded over brass shim stock under the bearing point of the cap iron.  Actually worked very well at holding the cap on, plus letting him adjust the blade.

   Believe it or not, Stanley still supplies many of the parts. Look on their website. (at least they did before the recession.) Order on line and they send in snail mail after the proper two week delay. They have a section for new plane parts and another for old, some going back to 1905. Of course if you start looking for totes, they may sent you the one that fits the antique but it will be made of plastic. :)

   Bon chance

   I have found lots of good parts stuff on the "bay".  There is a risk of frustration: you might buy an old plane for parts to find that it is only in need of a little tuning up to become a nice tool! <gr>
