108 degrees and lost 10 eggs!

I have a Genesis 1588 and it has a preset temp, did perhaps yours get accidentally readjusted?

Hmmm.... mine usually messes up at day 18

Mine is a Genesis 1588. And that comes preset at 100.4. I got it a couple weeks ago. So far I love it.

So sorry to hear about your eggs!

I heard you can buy a digital thermostat for styrobators for $20, but where? If I find out I will post it here.
If I had central air, and a room that stayed the same temp all the time, I might try it again. Meanwhile, that thing is retired!

I also heard there is a digital upgrade for the old Brower 846, but where?

If you can use a soldering iron there is a electronic kit availabe that I use, it`s cheap and very reliable. The company who makes it is called Velleman the kit number is MK138 and is sold worldwide, although in standard kit form it is wrong for incubator temperatures but if you change 4 resistors and the variable rheostat it works great. I have 2 kits built and they are holding the temperature within .5 c ie max 38c min 37c if anyone is interested I can list the modifications you need to do. The kit requires a 12v Dc power source like a cordless phone charger or similar.
