we just bought a 1202 sportsman for 200$ the egg turner didn't work took it apart an did al little tinkering an now the egg turner work thankyou vo-ag shop class always coming in handy.now we need to buy the plastic trays the eggs go in i found the ones for 1500 series do the fit the 1200 series.want one chicken set an one large fowl set that you lay on there side.thanks for any help jim.
 
I have a 1200 and I use paper egg tray's in mine , with the bottoms sanded off for air curculation , My turner is a hand operated crank on top .
 
i have a the plastic trays for chickens and quail...i only use the ones for quail....i found the if i used wire and made it into rows (7 rows fit) i can get more eggs in...i fit about 108 black jersy giant eggs per tray x3 trays.....it is cheaper then the plastic trays and you can make it quickly...
heres a couple pic's of mine...
