Stanley victor N20

Annoyingly my compass plane decided to throw itself off the bench & even though it landed on an extractor hose which was on rubber matting the frog has broken








Now this has sentimental value so I’d really like to repair it & whilst I know it’s a very long shot I wondered if anyone has a donor plane in any condition as long as the frog is intact that I could buy

There's two in FB Marketplace.

That’s a real shame, not much chance of having that welded I suppose.
Won’t it be a bit like Trigger broom though? Sorry just edited it I’ve just noticed that the frog is quite a small part of the plane.

Sad day at the office Doug
I may well have the perfect candidate mate.
The frame is in about a dozen pieces but the frog and sole assembly may be okay.
Let me see if I can find which stack of boxes it is in.
Cheers, Andy

Well I have found a picture and it looks more like a Record which should be close.
Anyhow, let me find it and have a proper look.
Cheers, Andy

Thanks Andy @toolsntat

 

[toolsntat]

Okay, found it and it's definitely a Record.
Sorry about that Doug, unless you want to utilise this lot to make a good one?
I'm not 100% how close they copied Stanley's castings.
Quite remarkable that the untidy welded frame still holds together
Cheers, Andy

It looks very similar @toolsntat, would you be able to bring it along to the extravaganza?
Also if you’ve still got any of those bandsaw blades for sale I’d be interested in buying some more off you.
Thanks again Andy.

By all means, it'll be a pleasure.

I have the older version which is in pristine, A1 condition and happy to pass on. Will post a picture(s) in a mo' - Rob

This is the Record 0113 that I bought at least two decades ago, thinking it might be 'useful' but it's been sat in a toolbox in the house (not workshop) and has never taken a shaving by me. It's always been stored with the sole dead flat as these things have been known to crack around the rivets; this one is perfick:







This is probably the original blade and there's hardly any wear on it. Yours for £100 + p/p...same price as those rusty hulks on FB - Rob
