Heated Hat Block

[Stoney]

I just picked this one up on e-bay. I'm actually suprised that there were not more bidders, but I guess that's just the benefit that comes with a small head size.

I've seen a couple of horror stories here concerning heated blocks, so I plan to use it very carefully.

That's quite a heating element, is that a standard light bulb socket that its screwed into? How many watt does that baby pull? If it is a light bulb socket you could put a light bulb in it an lessen the amount of heat. Pretty cool.

Cool. Just the thing to warm up a hat before going out on a cold day!

Very nice Mr H.

Bob,

I don't have the block yet, but I think it is a standard socket. I might try a heat lamp in there for an element, if the one in there is exessively hot.

That's exactly what they used at VHS, to stretch my Whippet. I love those things.

Saw one similar to this one in an antique shop today, what's a good price, in USD to pay? If it works?

Hmmm, maybe $150 - $200?
