OK. I bought the WHOLE thing, and it is BIG. And heavy. I paid the full 100.00 for it. They had cleaned it up for me and helped load it and tie it on. AND let me have first choice on some other cool stuff from their garage sale that is tomorrow. Really nice people. They came out to CA from New York to take care of his mom, that must be hard.
About the incubator, not electric as you all suspected. Looks like it is kerosene. It is in excellent condition for its age. The wood is sound, and probably won't need more than a little sanding and some oil. It all looks original except there were braces put on the legs, but they did a decent job with that. I would like to refinish the latches and hinges. Has the original glass in the windows. Some neat vents on the side. The trays are missing so if anybody has any pictures of what trays from an OLD incubator would look like please send them to me. I would like to make them look as close to old as possible, but I will convert it to electric with fans. I also want to try and put egg turners in it.
I will take some pictures tomorrow as it was too dark tonight. I didn't see any labels or tags. I am hoping that one day I can put a brooder under the incubator shelves and make it an all in one. When I get my sun room / greenhouse done next year I think it will fit nicely in there.
Thanks for encouraging me to go and get it. I think it was a good save.
