Nice old toaster has one dead heat coil.

If the owner want to keep it, what are the options? Are breaks easily spliced
with hi-temp crimp of some kind? Or is it best to rewind the coil with new
wire?

Thanks,

You'll want to replace that bad coil. Most small appliance repairshops
and the better stocked hardware stores will carry heater coil element.

Ordinary wire may work for a very short while but is likely to burn up
and could cause a fire hazard.
