Don't know why not. Until I got my Genesis 1588, I had been looking at them on eBay myself. I especially liked the ones with the see-through front door.

It mostly depends on the temp range of the current thermostat. If it will sit at 99-101 like a rock it's good. Air exchange is easily and cheaply modified.

If you have to add a new electronic thermostat to keep the temps in that range - figure in the cost of a thermostat against what you are paying.
