Well jeeze, I really though it was mid century.

And the service centers are all gone now?

With a new twin sized blanket being 29.97 at Walmart, who has motivation to repair them? No volume, no warranty, and liability? Hardly a business plan for success. Shipping the blanket alone would be $15 at least one-way....

The newer models all have the CPSC-driven safety features., and use considerably less wattage, thanks to new technology controls, usually an IC-controlled triac versus a pot/triac or resistive thermostat such as yours.
