Wait a minute did you get a lob cut too?

A what? I just told her to cut it off to my shoulders lol. I was sick of the length.

I'm terribly curious. Why do you want it badly? Metal conducts heat. Appears to be still air. Neat. But?

Because it's cool. Also, I'm getting a little bored with my perfect incubator. Been thinking of shaking things up a tad.

I don't know... I just was told the dude was giving me a lob.

A little longer in the front or something.

That's what mine is. It is longer in the front and shorter in the back. Just a shorter version of what you got. Altho it is getting a little long for me so I want to go get it trimmed, layered and thinned out. Maybe during the upcoming week.

@R2elk and @007Sean and anyone else. This came up for sale. A galvanized incubator. Neat to see how they used to do it. Any clue on what year this was standard? If anyone wants it, Houston Craigslist.

1967 model Brower 'still air' galvanized incubator. I used mine for many years. I still have mine and it still works....they don't build'em like that anymore...I mean about quality, durability, reliability! Hatched thousands of chicks from mine. Kinda finicky to get set but once set it was a workhorse.

Very much, but 45 is pretty steep. Bummer.

I payed $75 back in 1967 for mine. That's a 'steal' for an antique bator and it's in great condition.

I'm thinking about what it'd be with shipping factored in.

I don't know off hand, maybe $50 but they are kinda heavy...somewhere around 20lbs. have it shipped freight and it will be cheaper than UPS or FedEx.

 

[007Sean]

They are a pretty rare incubator today. Even though Brower sold thousands maybe even millions of these units...there are not many still around today. If I was to buy it the first thing I would do is replace the the wafers, especially if it still has the original wafers.

ETA - I replaced the wafers once in the 20 years I was using mine.
