Wonder Wind 1250 (have you even heard of that brand before?)

So I have a bone to pick with mom. I have been using grandpa's old blowdryer since I moved into the ranch over 4 years ago. He passed away 10 years before that and who knows when the blowdryer was purchased, so needless to say it is a bit antique but I have never had a problem with it-that is until about a week ago. I was defrosting my freezer and Mom was at my house. I was trying Dawn's method of defrosting using my blowdryer when mom made the comment that my blowdryer was really old and didn't sound very good. I thought it sounded normal. Well that must have hurt my blowdryers feelings (if blowdryers have feelings) because exactly 2 days later my blowdryer died:(. Now I am not able to use the term "blowdryed my hair" or "blew dry my hair" (Scott did you ever determine which one was more correct). Wet hair thrown back in a pony tail is the way I'm going. I can't quite bring myself to purchase a new blowdryer-anyone know if there is an old one for sale on ebay?:)
