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.
