Hey Handyman, I think you have got it all wrong. These bulbs do not have elements. They have a air gap instead (a bit like spark plugs / welders). The onlyreal way to cheaply repair the lamp is to replace the burner as Gazza has mentioned.

If it works for you... Paypal me a couple of bucks.

Try http://www.lumenarc.co.uk. They can sell you just the bulb as opposed to the complete lamp.
