Redwood Incubators - Information, help, for sale and wanted

[marquisella]

Ok!
Test run-
36 eggs.
Temp set at 99.8, high cut off 101.5.

I set on the top shelf only. Using a little giant turner. Figure I could use only one shelf, plenty of head room for the turner.

Did you leave all the drawers in? The handbook says to leave all the drawers in. Don't know why.

Yep! I got an instruction owner's manual.

Is it the one that is on someones website? It really doesn't give info on the incubator...I wish I had something more in depth myself. That is what I have as well.

Yes! But it seems to have as much information as any instruction manual. It explained how to set thermostats and how load eggs starting on the top tray. And to leave all the trays in place.

I saw this on cl and wondered if it looks like something I should look into. It looks like it may be a redwood that has been painted. What do you guys think? I think I need another redwood! I'm hooked!

Based on the pics. Yes I think you are right. It really looks to be a redwood that somebody has painted. I don't think ya can go wrong.

I am hoping someone on her can help me figure out what kind of incubator is listed in a garage sale post. There are no pictures, but what the listing said is that it is a Sears Incubator. The sale is advertised to be the result of a 4th generation farmer who was a hoarder. I got all excited about the incubator thinking that it might be a redwood. I emailed and asked for more information. The seller replied to me saying, "The unit does heat up, and if I remember correctly the model is 253- something or other. I would say it's just under two feet in diameter.". Diameter? He said he's going to price it at $45, so now I'm confused. Did sears make a round bator? The sale is a 2 hr drive for me one way. If it were closer, it would be a no brainer and I would just go, but the distance is a factor. Can anyone shed any light?

Thanks!
