Hi Bob.
It's a simple coiled piece of nichrome wire. If you can figure out the length
and the gauge you could probably wind one on a knitting needle and then put
back on the old former.
We had a lot of them here in ZL used in heating elements. My company repaired
the heaters and we stocked them for repair and sold them also. They are in the
centre of "Glass" bar electric heater elements. Your local electrical repair
company may have something like it
If all else fails and you want to send me a 1" piece of the wire, I will send
back a new 8" coiled piece that you can put back on the ceramic former to get
it working. Nothing magic about a bit of nichrome wire! I will bet it's about
20 to 50 ohms in value.
