I was very fortunate to find a Record #778 rebate plane last weekend. I believe it’s from the 1970’s. I’ve been busy tuning it up and will blog about it separately. But it came with three identical instruction sheets. I’m wondering if there are any #778 owners who would like a copy of the instruction sheet. They’re not in perfect shape, but plenty good enough for anyone who wants this to go along with their plane.
If anyone would like one of my extra copies, send me a message and I’ll be happy to mail it.

16 June 2016 at 6:59 pm #137889Hey Salko, how’s it going? The web address of my blog is on the signature line of all my forum posts. But if you mean a link to the blog that I’ll do about the #778, then I’ll add that to this forum topic when it’s ready.
22 June 2016 at 10:18 pm #138047For anyone who is interested in the Record #778 rebate plane, I’ve written a blog about it here. And I still have the two extra sets of instructions for the plane. And I still have the two extra sets of instructions for the plane, in case anyone wants a copy.

Thanks !

29 June 2016 at 7:01 pm #138160Hi Steve. Wow – congratulation on being given a #78. I’m sure I read somewhere that the Record #778 is patterned off the Stanley #78. Mine had all the parts and it was very easy to get it into good condition and working smoothly. I like it a lot. I wrote a blog about it and in the blog is a picture of all component parts. You could check to see if you have all those parts. The link to the blog is in the forum comment above yours.
29 June 2016 at 10:24 pm #138165The main difference between the 778 and 78 is that the 778 has a two-armed fence. According to record-planes.com, the Record 778 was an adaptation of the Woden W78, which was an adaptation of the Record #78. I assume the Record #78 was based on the Stanley #78, as were several others — I have a Sargent #79 and it is the same pattern.
Hi Matt,
Congratulations on obtaining your new (to you) 778. Finding those or the Stanley 78 is getting increasingly harder to do. I searched and searched…..sigh and then was watching Paul use (as he put it) his very favorite plow plane. I am normally a lower budget kind of guy…well, except for the occasional/getting too frequent tool purchase. Anyway, back to the plane. I spent an evening with a cocktail at hand looking at the plane on the internet. The more I looked, the more I coveted and the more I felt deprived of having this wonderful tool in my shop. Have you ever seen the beautiful brass knobs? They are really shiny. My wallet was saying, “Listen up big guy this is a lot of money.” On the other hand, my AmEx kept peeking out and sorta like the devil got behind me and pushed. I am the proud owner of the Veritas plow plane and everything they had to go with it(a further moment of weakness). I also happen to own a $175 Buck hunting knife that I purchased under the same conditions a couple of years ago. I may need to hook up one of those breath-a-lizer switches for my internet connection.
I just signed up to follow your blog…..and sober too.Cheers,
Dan9 July 2016 at 9:52 pm #138391The Veritas Small plane is one of the few “new” tools I own and it is a very nice plane. I just spent the $59 to have them retro fit it to accommodate the new beading blades they have which will be my next purchase.

9 July 2016 at 11:16 pm #138395@sanhozay – thanx for the information, Richard.
@rtexacwby and @smassiesr – Hey Dan and Steve. Dan, that’s hilarious about the devil in the wallet. Dan and Steve – I’ve had the Veritas grooving plane for a year or two and I love it. I recently had the upgrade done to it so that it can take beading blades too. Great tool.10 July 2016 at 3:25 pm #138410Thanks Dan and Matt this is good to know. Have you tried out or have the tongue and groove set, and any other straight blades?
Steve
10 July 2016 at 4:06 pm #138414Steve, I didn’t get the T&G blades. That would be a great capability to add to this plane. If I remember correctly, the plane came originally with a 1/4″ straight blade. I now have a 3/8″ straight blade and they both work very well.
Steve,
Sorry I had a brain fart when you mentioned having the upgrade. I said my plane did not need one….well, I do not have the t&g blades. I do have all the other blades from 1/8 up and then three of the beading blades. Sorry for the confusion….now I made make myself a cocktail and go have a look at those t&g blades and that upgrade…..or maybe not.Dan
