Long time since I had the joys of access to such things...

Have you tried Ilford? They may have spares. If not it should not be impossible to find someone who can replace the heater with a suitable substitute. Having said that we do seem to live in a throw-away society and no one seems to want to mend anything From what I remember they are pretty basic inside.

I can't help on the heater but these come up on e-bay quite frequently and don't seem to sell for a lot and when you get a price for the replacement heater plus fitting if you don't tackle it yourself you'll have a yardstick against which to work out if a replacement heater is worthwhile
