Agreed, no visible signs of asbestos there.

I'd be surprised if many hairdryers were still being made with asbestos insulation in the 1970s. Even if your hair dryer contained asbestos, it's extremely unlikely that there would be any health implications unless the dryer has been opened and the asbestos disturbed.
