Had an old Wahl just die after probably a good 20+ years, kind of looks like the cable is frayed and splitting where it connects to the trimmer. Did a quick check online and the new products don’t even look remotely similar.
Just using it for normal hair cuts at home, any recommendations?
Edit: Preferably on the budget side.
Why not fix the cable? Should be cheap and well, youre talking about BifL, well heres your chance to keep an old item running… for life.
People often lament that things these days don’t last as long as they used to, but they forget that our grandparents were constantly mending clothing, repairing electronics, etc.
I did this with a similarly old and heavily used Philips trimmer and it has lasted a good few years since. The Wahl ones are handy enough to take apart if memory serves so if you can I would also recommend going this route.
If you can get the casing off and post pics I’d be happy to offer advice if it’s not something you’re comfortable with.
