I just called them and they weren't a whole lot of help. All they could really tell me is it's pretty old, probably 25-30 yrs. It has no hatching tray in the bottom. I just can't find one that looks like it.

I just bought an older GQF cabinet incubator a couple days ago and I don't know what model it is. It has an electric thermostat with a backup wafer thermostat. I will attach some pics. How can I find out what model it is? The sticker on the front door is faded off.

You could use a piece of hardware cloth for the floor and wine corks for the plugs
