Is that stuff all from gqf ? Will the switch and wafer act as a backup to the electronic thermostat?

Not from GQF. But they are GQF products (bought them from a Cad. Seller). the mircroswitch and wafer are the back up. My incubator and i am sure others have two. The main one. Than the back up one. i need to replace both sets. So i figured if i was going to spend money on the icubator i should upgrade to the 21'st centery.

Thats the midsize farm master.Looks to be in good shape.Its amazing to think how old these incubators are and still in working order.

I just found this thread. I am in Central, New York and looking for one. I have a Sportsman, but am not happy with my hatch rate. I have it in my house, but would prefer an old Redwood so I could hatch in a room in my unheated barn. I understand they will work even in very cold areas.
