Well it's hatching season again and I haven't hatched anything in my LG 9200 in almost 2 years because my lovely ladies have been doing just fine by themselves. So, I decided to pull some eggs from the ladies this week and give it a shot again. I dug the trusty LG out of the storage building (which I've used on at least 6 hatches), dusted it off, plugged it in ....................... And nothing. I was shocked, because even though most people say they are junk or unreliable mine has been outstanding up to this point. ANYWAY, to make a long story short I decided to buy the newer version 9300 just to give it a try. I already have an auto-turner and just happen to have a spare computer fan laying around. So I swung by TSC and was pleasantly surprised that it was only like $50. Got home and my old egg turner fit perfectly and it heated up quickly and was simple to set up. So far it appears much better than the 9200 because of the automatic thermostat and built in Temp/Hygrometer. The only thing lacking is a fan. I looked up the fan kit online and it's way more expensive than I'm willing to spend on a fan. Especially when I've got a perfectly good one right here. Also, I found an old cell phone charger, stripped the wires, plugged in the fan and it worked. Unlike the 9200 this one does not have a open space to put a fan as large as the one I installed. So I simply attached it to the top to the heating element using 4 screws and 4 rubber grommets. Then ran the fan wire through one of the vent holes and plugged it in. I added a small piece of mesh that I cut from the mesh floor in my old LG and used it to protect the chicks from getting decapitated. It's been running now for roughly 4 hours and the temp and humidity and has been steady at 99.5 and 50%. I plan on setting 18 eggs tonight, so I'll keep everyone posted
