Flea Market Finds

>Went rust hunting on Friday. Made 3 purchases.
#131. In pretty good shape. The adjustment knob is slightly chipped, but it seems to be holding ok. I totally don't need this plane, but that blade reversing mechanism is so cool I couldn't resist.
#36. In very good shape. Somebody had already cleaned it up, all it needs is a blade sharpening. It still has the original wood body with the stamp in the front.
#192. Kind of beat up, missing the depth adjustment. (Warning: rationalization follows!)But it wasn't very expensive. I have a Record 778 that I love, but sometimes the fences are a nuisance when you just want to fine tune a joint. This one will be easier to just pick up and use.
