Just to follow up, i got the replacement cord from GQF today, plugged it in, and the genesis started up just fine. Apparently, the transformer i found does not go with the bator. i know sometime down the line, maybe in a few years, when i unpack that strange box of miscellaneous weirdness from...
Well azelgin and twigg, you two are both far and above schmarter than i will ever be on these complicated electronics. i truly appreciate the time and trouble you both took to try to help with my dilemna.

Thank you, i wasn't sure what the 1000 number meant. Also, i thought i recall the transformer was not just a straight adaptor into the wall with a cord into the incubator. i thought it had a power cord into the wall which connected to the transformer, and then the cord came out the other end...
i seemed to have lost the power cord to my Genesis 1588 when we moved. i found one that fits and wondering if it's the right one (before i plug it in and short out our electricity). If someone has one of these incubators, could you look on the power cord and see what it says? Here is what...
