New Brunswick Scientific G-25R Controlled Environment Incubator Shaker, G-25

Description

New Brunswick Scientific G-25R Controlled Environment Incubator Shaker
For sale- a New Brunswick Scientific Controlled Environment Incubator Shaker Model G-25R.
I see that most listings for a similar shaker are G-25’s, not sure what the R might denote.
OK, duh, it finally dawned on me that maybe that stands for "Refrigerated", if so I have not tested it in that regard, if you need low temp please let me know and I will try to complete my testing of it.  This one made it to surplus with a post it note on it that said “Works Very Well” which I thought was pretty funny, usually you don’t get such an endorsement from whoever cuts it loose.
So I was a little miffed when I powered it up and it wasn’t shaking even though it was indicating RPM on the meter.
So I took the back off and realized that when I had plunked it down on a small pallet to make it easier to move around the feet weren’t hitting it right and the pallet was actually blocking the rotation of the unit.
With that solved it shakes fine and it heats up fine as well.
That said none of the indicator lights come on with the exception of the safety thermostat.
Both the Control Thermostat and the shaker speed knobs are missing, no doubt to discourage changes in the settings, but the stems still easily turn so that is more of a cosmetic issue than anything else.
The interior could stand to be cleaned, doesn’t look too bad but I will leave that to you.
With the heat/blower on it produces a kind of funky smell.
Not a performance related burning smell, but probably just a reminder of whatever the previous user had in it.
Don’t know if that will fade with time or perhaps take on the smell of whatever you are cooking up instead.
The shaker platform as you can see only has one holder attached.
I have a box of those things around somewhere, with a Buy It Now purchase I will include more.
With an accepted Best Offer what you see is what you get.
Untested other than as pictured and described, sold as is, and NO warranty is offered.
However, IF you pay the asking price and find it has a problem you cannot live with within 14 days of receipt you may return it.
Returns are ONLY allowed on Buy It Now Purchases.
Accepted Best Offers are strictly an as is sale, no returns allowed.
Return would be for a refund of the purchase price, not including shipping costs,
which may be substantial
.
Just so that we are clear on that, this is an item that has not been thoroughly tested.
As such it may work fine or it may have problems, so any purchase entails a certain degree of risk.
If you Buy It Now your risk is limited to the shipping costs both ways.
If you submit an offer you do so knowing that you cannot return it.
In either case it is up to you to decide whether the risk level is acceptable to you, and if not you need to pass on this particular item.
Please check out my other listings for more interesting lab, test, and optical equipment.
Check back often!
Sold as is, as described, as pictured.
Potential buyers are asked to please make sure you have read the listing carefully, and understand what you are buying.
Ebay’s condition codes for used items, which I am now required to select from, might imply a degree of functionality that my limited time, knowledge, and facilities do not allow me to ascertain.
If the functional condition of the item is known it will be stated as such in the listing.
Unless a warranty is specifically offered returns are not accepted regardless of any implied functionality.
Shipping will be motor freight on a pallet unless you would like to come pick it up.
I would estimate the shipping weight at around 400 pounds.
I would estimate the freight cost for that at between 0 and 0 to the east and west coast respectively.
Residential deliveries, deliveries that require liftgates, deliveries to the boonies, and deliveries to schools or universities will all be more because it takes longer for the carrier to get the job done.
Shipping will be via Old Dominion Freight Lines, which has done a consistently good job getting my shipments where they are going without roughing them up.
I will be happy to quote you for the shipment, but I need to know the zip code, residential or commercial, and whether a lift gate will be required.
If you would prefer to use another carrier that’s fine .
It will be shipping from a warehouse with a loading dock in zip code 23093, but I do not live there!
I require pickup confirmation the day before and your carrier must provide an emailed printable copy of the Bill of Lading so that there is paperwork available for the driver to sign when he gets there.
The BOL should have all the info filled out when I receive it, blank copies are unacceptable.
I can ship this to Canada via Old Dominion, but they do not offer customs brokerage services, so you would need to have your own customs broker lined up before it shipped.
And while I cannot comment on the duties, tariffs, taxes and fees that might be levied, I can say that shipping to the metro areas of eastern Canada is surprisingly affordable.
