Here's the 3 cabinets BYC910 got today...

Nice score! Mine is like the one on the right, with room for the hatcher tray below, which is missing in that one. I can't see the thermostats on it...but it's a 1200 or 1400 series. Middle one can't see enough to tell what it is but it looks pretty empty inside. One on the left looks like a professional series (no hatcher) or a ratite incubator, maybe a 1266.

Do they smell as bad as mine did, full of rodent piss? If yours have bubble pack on the bottom, it's probably full of stink too.

If you have any trouble with them I am pretty familiar with them now. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1023254/updating-an-old-gqf-1402-cabinet-incubator

Left and right ones are the bators with the turners... middle one is the hatcher, supposed to have 6 trays but 2 are missing... and the plate on the door of the hatcher said 1266, I believe... Bubble pack is on the bottom, I remember feeling it as we picked one up, lol... Guarantee they smell worse than rat piss... truly horrendous smelling... but that can be cleaned out, lol... All 3 have wafers... needs new ones, one is totally green, lol...

 

[WalnutHill]

With wafers they are probably all 1200 series. The yellow controller in mine is the new GQF proportional thermostat that replaced an old electronic thermostat and wafer combo. Super nice and I'd invest in one if expensive eggs were going into it.

 

[Ravynscroft]

Walnut, I have no doubt BYC910 will be tugging your ear soon, lol... and yep, they are the wafer/electronic combos...

 

[WalnutHill]

The scary thing is plugging old electrical appliances in for the first time. The next is cleaning them.

 

[Ravynscroft]

I don't think he's gonna plug them in before he cleans them... the thought of that smell warmed up is the scariest thing I could think of...

 

[WalnutHill]

I was gagging all the way home with mine in the back of the pickup, and that was only one...between broken rotten egg residue and rodent nests, it was rank.

I plugged it in outside for the first time. Only the fan worked.

Now it works like a brand new one

yeah that is pretty much the way it is

. pretty sure their 1200 models been doing research .on the latter models the clear door is an up grade . With shipping runs eighty bucks or more I think the hatcher was the best deal . not as pristine as yours . and will take a lot of clean up . not much out there to find out how old they are . the thing I like most is I get to find out how they work . and of course I'll make up grades got to change some things I know . I'll call GQF when I get time and learn more about their age . just got to know

btw they came home on the flat bed F450 smelling them wasn't a problem . but I have to clean them. and that means I have to open the door

. good thing I have a very good painters mask. great for smelly jobs .now what stinks is I have go pick up my machine and their still on the truck covered very well and its raining . I need my truck .

What happens when you can't even remember 58?
