my "free" incubator

[another1]

i have been looking for a sportsman style incubator today i found an incubator for free about 130 miles away so i emailed the guy and went to pick it up turns out to be a marsh cyclonic model 1a built in 87 anyone familiar with these or know where to find parts looks to need plenty of work

Depending on how much money you spend on it, you may be able to join the "FReeves" club !

The idea is to spend more on getting a free item to work, then it would take to buy a new one !

Have you found any information on that incubator yet?

I'm not familiar with it.  You're probably the proud owner of one out of the 15 built. 

What all does it need?  There's really not much to one and most things about them can be retrofitted with like components from other incubators or hardware store. Fan, heating element and thermostats are about all there is to one.  I've posted links to wiring diagrams and such for the GQF's in other threads.  There's quite a few on the forum that have some good ideas and are very familiar with incubator/brooder riggings.

     Isn't that the truth!  I'm throwing alot of time and money at a "free" 1960 Massey Harris Ferguson 2 row corn planter right now. It's quite a contraption that worked...........but that wasn't good enough......
