Default Re: Bakelite Hairdryers

Does anyone remember the conversion kits sold to use an electric fan heater as a hairdryer ?
The heater was placed on a table in front of the victim, and the hot air directed by a short length of flexible ducting. The de-luxe version had a plastic drying hood to be placed over the head and connected via ducting to the heater.
The instructions generally stated that only the lower heat setting was to be used, this was often ignored and the extra heat perished the plastic.
