Lord I want one. I am such an antique hound and I love refinishing restoring and getting old things to work... I wish I could find one locally that I could afford to get. I keep looking and hoping. The few I have seen on ebay, the shipping alone would about triple the price. Sigh.

I want one. I want it... ohhhhhhhh I want it. You've gone and awakened my envy...
 
kartking has one of these models. It's a really great looking unit. I just missed out on one local. They are nice units. He spent some time tracking down a manual for his.

I'm the type of person that likes to keep what they will never make again. These fit the bill.
 
We have friends who run an antique shop , visited them yesterday and they had amontgomery wards redwood incubator. I think it has 6 trays.Needs some wiring work but it appears that everything else is in good shape . Got it for 50$ , they are delivering this week.

It has a plate that says it is a 75lz-3666b but I can find no information on that model # but was told that it was made by Leahy.

Any info I can get would be greatly appreciated.
 
Hey this post was just what I needed to figure out the brand name model number of the antique cabinet incubator I picked up for FREE (Yes I said F-R-E-E!!!) last Fall. We're going to clean it up/re-store it, and see if it will hatch some peeps for us.

It's an awesome looking incubator, makes our Sportsman look shabby lol!

Do you have a copy of the operating manual at all? Mine is the model with 4 trays fits about 400 eggs I figure. measures: 22 x 35 x 39 H.

Model # 416?
 
Yup, Got one of these too. Leahy model 624. It's a six tray manual turner vintage redwood top of the line bator. I sure love it. I believe that I bought it with everything original except for the instruction manual that I found earlier on leggs peafoul website. It will be coming up for sale shortly due to my recent investment in another vintage redwood bator with auto turn. A Humidaire model 200 that will hold up to 1400 eggs. I don't have to give eggs away anymore when the Leahy was full.
