hello all,
my friend gave me an old incubator he found in his uncles barn.he asked if i wanted it and i said sure.now i need some help figuring out what it is and how to get some new parts for it.it has a label on top that reads something ectril cabinet incubators N.C. with a serial number.
can someone tell me who made it,what it is made of and if it is fixable.i don't know anything about these things and any advice would be appreciated.

the egg trays have turners and the hatching tray has a screen top(probably for quail)

First off I will be no help, but I wanted to let you know that is way way cool and I am totally jealous. I am making an incubator out of an old kitchen cabinet thanks to a plan I saw on this site. I would love to have found that.

everything is fixale...is it worth it is the question

yes you can still get fuses for that

get a new wafer for sure then fire it up...same type wafer that sportsman and othe such bators use

You won't know much until you plug it in...I would recommend blowing out the parts first with an air compressor...make sure wires are not chewed on and nothing has built a nest in anything important...
