Hi all,
I've recently acquired a Stanley #78 mostly intact for a good price, and while I do have both the depth stop and fence, the depth stop is without it's screw.
I'm led to believe that there are two different screws depending on the plane's age, however I've had little luck finding information on dating the #78. I assume mine is the later type though, it is marked as made in Canada, and has the Stanley Sweetheart logo on the iron.
Cheers,
Sean
I bought parts from stanleytoolparts.com for my 78 a couple of years ago - was pretty cheap from memory
Unfortunately the screw can only be ordered as part of a kit including the depth stop, cap lever and cap lever screw, plus it appears they no longer ship overseas.Quote:

To clarify, this is the thumb screw that tensions the cap against the blade, not the screw that holds the cap.
If anyone has a #151 cap lever screw floating around I'll gladly purchase it
