I have an old Crosley SDD-1 range that is in need of a replacement Nicrome

of course the wire is burned out. It is 2600 watts at 220 V.

Your broil element is unshielded conductor connected to 220V;
modern elements are a grounded tube with ceramic fill around the
internal (nichrome) element. Try to get a modern element instead
of replacing the old one. It's safer.

Mine was relatively cheap ($35).
