Default Re: Bakelite Hairdryers

My mum had one of those and when I was little I used it to practice hairstylist at the time it's what I wanted to do. She had it for years I remember also that it was very well suppresed it didn't disturb reception on 247 metres at all. Yes it was almost silent compared to modern machines I have a bright pink modern one the colors loud and so is the motor!!! What was the wattage of those I would think only a few hundred watts if you could run it off the lighting mains modern units are available up too about 2 kilowatts. Scary amount of heat
