It should work but you have to get the temp down just a little. I have our's set at 99.5 which is good for all types of eggs.

The way a Sportsman is wired is that if the electronic thermostat goes out there is the wafer unit that will take over so you don't lose a clutch of eggs. The main thermostat is set to 99.5 and the back-up is set at 102 so that by looking at the temp it can be easily seen if the main thermostat is working.

Comparing it to ours I am looking at the washers that are between the case and the thermostat, ours doesn't have those washers so I am guessing it was changed over at some point to an electronic unit. The early 1502 had two wafer switches in them as the one my MIL has.

Ok I will get the back up on from the neighbor & get that in there tomorrow, I have the two vents shut down to half. I am waiting to see if the temp levels so I can go to bed, I'm tired! LOL.

I don't want to buy a new electronic if there is nothing wrong with this one.

So far two sets of eggs have went bad, he had it in a shop building that wasn't a steady temp. I hope to make this one do good for me. I got 23 or 25 from my LG & it would be nice to get a nice hatch or at least not loose the one's that are in there.
