wood incubators 3 for 125?

[backcountry]

i just got a call from a friend who found 3 large incubators for $125 all he knew about them was that they were made of wood and had 5 to 6 racks each sounds like a steal  but  i dont know  ill try to get some more info on the tomorrow (do u guys know where i could get some pics of wood incubators to try and find the ones he has ? they are older

Google wooden incubators. Lots of pictures.

if they are operational, that's a steal!  Take pics!

I'd probably grab those up in a hurry!  What kind of wood?  Plywood such as the modern cabinet style or something like this:   http://www.thatquailplace.com/smf/index.php?topic=3831.0;topicseen ?    $125 is only about a fill-up of fuel in my truck several months ago!  As long as all the controls (stats, heater, fans, etc.) are intact and operable, it would be worth that just for one to me.......I'd build my own cabinet if I had too, or repair those, if needed.  You never know, the bottom could be rotted clean off from setting on a wet basement floor or something.

Good luck, let us know what you do and post some pics if you buy them.
