I have an old Magic-Check gas cooktop (828A-1K -- cannot even find the model on the internet :-).

It has two electrical glow-coils, one for the 2 left burners, one for the 2 right burners. These are supposed to glow constantly.

The one on the right is dead. I removed it and used my electrical tester -- it tests Open. It looks like this:

The top part unplugs from the connector piece below. Any idea where I might find a replacement, or what I can substitute for it? It's an "Always On" type, and has no fancy gas control connected to it.

Thanks!!
