How old could this GQF 1202 incubator be?

[naychicks]

I'm looking to buy a 1202 bator here in my area... The person that has it doesn't know how old it is as he got it used and didn't ask. He says that it works good, 70 to 90 percent hatching rate. He texted my a few pics but I can't seem to figure out how to get them from my cell to the computer (sorry, technology kind of leaving me behind).

I did some research and I know that the very old ones come red in color, well this one looks like if it was made with raw plywood, kind of formica looking (which is the first 1202 that I see with this exterior finish) and it has the regular trays. Money is tight and I just want to make sure that I don't get a very old bator that isn't going to last me a while...

Thanks in advance for your help.

We have one just like that and it is great!!! You do have to keep an eye on the temp every now and then but it sure beats a house full of styrofoams . We have 7 of those and get about the same hatch rate in the 1202 as the styrofoams. ..about 90 to 95%. We paid 300 for ours...
