Well, you can get the LG 9200 from TSC for $41.99 the egg turner is the same price... so you can get the set-up brand new for $84... something to keep in mind.
I used the LG without the turner to hatch my first batch of eggs. I had shipped eggs from harleys girl... 7 eggs 100% hatch. I also had guinea eggs that were not quite as good, but I hear they are harder to hatch. I ended up with 8 out of 12 original shipped eggs hatching, and I believe at least 2 of them were infertile and were thrown out week 2.
Once I got the temp where I liked it I didn't touch it... It took a little trying to hit the right temp, but it is very consistent in staying at that temp... at least mine is.
