Is there any way you can contact NARCO with the model number and get a product manual for it?

I can't seem to find it either. The only Narco website I can find is for avionics altitude indicators and such. I will keep looking though. I seem to be good at finding these things.

Could you get pictures of all of the labels and names on the incubator to maybe give me a little more info about it?

Can you get a closer picture of the label on the front of the left door? The blue-ish one.

I think the company is NAPCO.
National Appliance Company.

I wasn't able to dig up any info but someone else might be able to with a little more time.

I don't know how useful this information is... maybe it's a waste of time... maybe not.

All I could find was what Joshua found, a few other sites with the same information, and your same incubator for sale.

Looks like a laboratory incubator to me. With pressure controll and such looks to be used for experments and the like. It looks to have a rapid inject valve which would shoot different gases into it. So it is probibly airtight aswell. My school use to have a incubator similar to this in the lab. The one at school was used for chemicals that needed a certain environment react. I dont know how to work it though. I dont think its a reptile incubator but I dont see why it couldnt be. I would take out the airtight feature and not use the pressure gauge at all and just use the temp. But how do you set the temp? I dont know.
I hoped i helped somewhat on what it is. Im gona try to contact the school's science department and see if they know.

 

[Scott&Nikki]

Yeah from what I found it is deffinately a scientific incubator. I do not know much about incubators, but I'm sure you could use it for your leos if you can get it working. I hope you figure it out, sorry I couldn't find out more for you.

Man that thing looks old as heck! That's probably why you can't find any info on it...

I have a LabLine incubator that I bought this past summer with a thermostat from Wendy and I love it
You will most likely need an external thermostat to regulate it as I did with this one

This is the one that I got (before I moved it into the house and set it up/plugged it all in) and it has been holding at a steady 84 for a week now

thermostat

Now all I need is eggs
:main_yes:

I don't know if I would be able to help you with it at all but I sure would be willing to try if it ends up running similarly to this one

What kinds of temp dials and outlets does it have on it?
I agree with just removing/ignoring the gas stuff
That might be a start

hmm, well i was playing with it today, cant find anything about how to control temp, there is a temp guage on it, but it only goes up to 80, and it is reading 0 temperature..... i wonder if thats the temp of the air or CO2... Im so lost, wish i woulnt have bought this stupid thing

You might do what I did with a wine cooler I found last year. Strip everything out except shelves, add flexwatt tape, and hook up to a thermostat. I have one hole in the back that has the electric line to the flexwatt and a probe for a temp guage (with min/maxs).

Good luck.
