Solderwerks BK-3090 Replacement Desoldering Gun Element Source

HELP!

I purchased a desoldering gun kit from Circuit Specialists (USA) a Solderwerks BK-3090. Mine is the black model not the silver model but I am sure that electrically they are the same. They say it's been discontinued and the part is not availble which really tee's me off as I have only used it for a dozen times or so. When it worked it worked pretty well. They still have the product on the web site in Europe but no listing of parts there. I would bet that this product was made under other names as well. Below is a link to the web site listing. I just can't believe that they would not stock parts long term for soldering equipment.

Any help would be appreciated!

P.S. I went ahead and ordered a Hakko unit but I really would like to get this working again as I can use it other places.

Do a google image search and you'll find a number of products that resemble that.

Take the element out and measure its resistance, to confirm its blown. Maybe post a photo here, so others can see what it looks like.
