I have an old Swan Brand 1950s toaster:

The element has just given up the ghost - it has broken along its
length. It appears to be replaceable - it is mounted on a slide-in unit.

I imagine that the chances of finding a new element unit are slim. How
best could I repair this?

I can't tell from the picture if it's a wire or ribbon element but a
length of nichrome wire can be used to rewind the card provided you
are gentle with the old former.
