I am going to look at this today but what kind is it? I want to do some research before I walk up and buy it.

I REALLY don't know.

BUT, I suggest that you PM to HappyHatch'n. He's done a LOT of research of Leahy Incubators. Being made of redwood, I think,perhaps, it may be a Leahy.

At any rate, I'd BUY it. It's a VERY CHEAP PRICE!!!

Several manufacturers made smallish redwood incubators in that time frame. What's he asking for it? If it's still running - heck even if not, I'd buy it dependent on price.

Small ones like that could be buckeye, the wooden hen, there were a number of them all in the same vein.

It's $50. I know it needs new seals and a new gear that he said woould be easy to find.

BUY IT!!!!! You'll not regret it. The redwood ones just ROCK.

That is Humidaire.

Any fertile egg you put in it will hatch.

The eggs should lay flat on their side in trays in the drum. The entire thing rotates back and forth for even, consistent turning.

Worth several hundred $$$.

Well now, tell us........

Were you fortunate enough (and smart enough) to buy it for $50.00 + whatever reasonably necessary?

I'm sure some of us would like to think that we really could get that LUCKY!

????????

Did ja, huh? Didja?

I have every intention on buying it. The guy put me off untill tomorrow because he was stuck at work (hospital). So hopefully tomorrow.

Good luck getting it. I'm realizing I am going to need a work shed or barn because darned if I don't REALLY like restoring them and want more and I'm not done finishing the first.

I got it, now I need help. It looks like this model here https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=116629&p=2

Now the round gear at the bottom has a few chewed teeth. I doubt I can find that gear premade. Where in heck can I find someone to make it? Also does anyone know how the turner works. It had a knob with lots of different times and then a smaller knob on top with time increments from 10-100. How does this thing work?
