Default Re: Does this 1960s hairdryer contain asbestos?

Were the cases on early models were a form of Bakelite? However, if you don't sand, grind, or drill, there is no danger.

A hair dryer with a power consumption of five times that of the Pifco is unlikely to dry hair five times as fast, just more likely to damage it quicker.

I own one of these (seventies manufacture), the element former is ceramic with a mica liner around it.
