    Should be fairly easy to check for resistance change when hot (2 meters required), ammeter in series, measure current and voltage at same time, solve for R.

        Yup. I don't have the elements for testing though. I may have a couple within the week because I have an electric water heater repair to do. I'll report back if I end up with an element to test. If it works out I'll consider buying new ones at just under $10 a pop.
