Wanting to know more about an old incubator

[K_K_]

Hi everyone,
I am wanting to know more about an old incubator I have lying around. I have tried googling it but all I can find is a very old news article which doesn't tell me much. It isn't in working condition as it has been exposed to weather but it doesn't look too bad. The plaque reads The Gamble All-Electric Incubator "Makes you Happy on Hatching Days" Manufactured by S.B. Gamble Strathfield NSW. Volts: 240/250, Amps 4, Serial No. 719, Model 1. I know it was working several years ago because chicken breeding was a hobby of the previous home owner. I think it must have become faulty hence why they left it here... I would love to know more information about it if anyone is familiar with this incubator or a similar one.

Oh, my goodness! We have one of those, but dual cabinet.

The motor works; my husband fixed it. We intend to see if we can get it operational. It needs a very big clean up. If you like, we can compare notes.

Wow! That looks incredible. Yours looks to be in much better condition than mine. It has been exposed to so much weather unfortunately. The previous owners were avid breeders so I doubt they would have neglected such an incredible incubator if it was able to work. I might even try to get in touch with them about it. I would love to know how you go with it!
I am amazed to see someone else who has one. I thought I was going crazy as I couldn't find anything on the internet with more information on it- if its not on the internet then does it really exist... Thank you for giving me some sanity! Have you been able to find anymore info on it?

Hi K,
Someone posted a link on a fb post. It is an article from 1935 https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/126027903?searchTerm=Gamble %2B incubator&searchLimits=
