Cabinet incubator for sale. Has 2 auto-turning trays and is designed to hold +/- 150 eggs. I think it more likely holds 120 (2 trays of 30 eggs each, top and bottom)
I currently have eggs in there, as can be seen in pix (all developing well BTW) so this unit would not be available to pick up or ship until the end of October.
I want to be TOTALLY honest about this 'bator. I paid $325 plus shipping to get it. I have tinkered with it as I found that depending on the temp setting, one "zone" or another could have a hot or cool spot. It is heated by a continuously running ceramic heating element and the heating of it cycles on/off per the thermostat. At the present time I have eggs developing in each of what I call the 4 zones (top back, bottom back, top front, bottom front) However, there is still a slightly "cooler" spot in the bottom front. Seems to hold an average temp of around 98-98.5F, however, eggs in that zone are developing now, but not sure of ultimate "hatch" until month end. SO, I feel confident about the other 3 zones and the temps, but not this bottom front area. My guess is that someone with more time (and patience) than myself could get this working perfectly. However, I did not want to mislead any of my fellow BYC'ers.
BUT, since I feel that only about 75% of the unit is operating as it should (thus holding only about 90 eggs) I have SLASHED the price by $125 (or out 38%) off from my original cost. Current eggs are only my second hatching from this unit. 'Bator is maybe 2 months old.
Unit is $200 plus shipping to your zip ($50 in shipping noted in auction is just an estimate for filling that blank in). It's a bit heavy (estimating 70lbs +/-) so pick up might be preferred.
I am getting a GQF Sportsman 1502 (hopefully as easy to use the 2 Genesis 1588s I had)
Thanks!!
