   "Maybe I can ask Record if they have spare parts"

   Enrico,

   It is my understanding that Record is no longer manufacturing or in business at all. Perhaps some of the hand tool aficionados here in KNOTS will reply to your post and advise you where to find spare parts for your Record plane. Good luck.

   Mike

               If you drop me a note of your postal address, (to me only), I will send you the yoke you need. Do please confirm it is the yoke which is faulty, it could be a non-standard cap iron which is causing the problem.

   On my planes, the record yoke is cast, whilst the stanley version is two bits of bent steel. That may help to identify yours.

   The cost should be negligible if it is only the yoke.

   Regards, David

   It could be the iron - too thick to allow the yoke to reach the cap iron. Or it could be an old woodie iron.

   Could be a number of things. A couple of pictures would help.

   Regards from Perth

   Hello David,
   I replied to you and wrote my address. It is very nice of you.
   Anyway, I would like to add pictures of what I think is the problem.
   Do you think it is possible to understand if I am right?
   Thanks a lot,
   Enrico

              Enrico, the yoke should be captured by the shoulders of the adjustment screw. Almost remove the screw and pivot the yoke up, then screw the adjustment in at the same time allowing the rounded ends of the yoke to drop down to register either side of the adjustment screw in the channel provided. Unless of course I am telling you what you already know, in which case please forgive me.

               Now that has made my day Enrico. I hope you have fun, and keep posting even if you do not have a problem!

   Also, don't worry about your English.  You communicate just fine, and welcome to Knots!  I've learned a LOT here -- you'll find it a good friend to your woodworking.My goal is for my work to outlast me.  Expect my joinery to get simpler as time goes by.

        Just out of curiosity, where exactly are you ? I live about half way between Milano and Bergamo.
