Sorry, I can't really tell a thing about it, the picture is just too close up and shoddy.

Figured out what the incubator is. It is a medical incubator. boekel 131400. It's very hard to find any info on it. Everything I find online says it has a pilot light? Does that mean this is gas operated? It won't work for me if that's the case.

This link has the most info I could find on it. Any one think this is useable for chickens?

That should work for hatching chicken eggs. The pilot light is just an indicator bulb that goes on and off along with the heating element to indicate weather it is heating or resting. Put some mass in there (like water filled bottles) and see if you can regulate the temperature to hold fairly steady at 99.5 degrees. If those are air vents in the top it should move enough air like a still air Styrofoam incubator. If not you might want to add a small computer fan to move and blend the air temperature throughout. A foil TV dinner, or similar, tray under the bottom rack will hold water to provide humidity. The more water surface the higher the humidity. Hand turn the eggs 3 or more times a day and have the brooder ready in about 3 weeks.

Yeah, this incubator should be suitable for hatching most all bird eggs. It probably doesn't have a window which will make it difficult to view the process of the chicks hatching. If you are in need of an incubator, I think this is a good one, but if you have one, I wouldn't mess with this one. The deal is pretty good, but it doesn't hold very many eggs, and has no viewing window, or egg turner.
