I'm glad to hear you got it up to temp. I've never really liked those little bators. I have two of tbem and they almost always fail me at the worst possible time, as it did you. That's why I had to build me one. It's one of those styrofoam ice chest types, but its highly reliable. I have 3 dozen RIR eggs it it right now, outside and it doesn't miss a beat. If you have any questions building one let me know. I'll be glad to help.
Here's a pic of my super reliable bator.
This video on youTube may help. It's basically a step by step guide on building a awesome bator. Hope this helps.
