Tools: Sources for old but useable planes

Quite some time ago someone posted a source for older Stanley planes. I think it was in Chicago, the source also sold phonograph records. I almost got a plane but reality cut into the budget.

I made a greenland paddle with Brian S. as we were working on our F1's and would like to keep making 'em. I certainly would like a larger plane or two. Brian used a power plane and a band saw to do the rough cuts. I don't have either of those and not sure the number of paddles I am likely to make would justify the cost of those machines.
So any sources of refurbished Stanley planes you fine folks can share?
