Default Pitot heat element failed. Options?

Just this past week my Bonanza V35's pitot heat element failed. I had a
mechanic look at it to determine if the cause was power/wiring related or
if the element itself had failed.

Of course, it was the element itself that had failed, which apparently in
the Bonanza's case means a new pitot tube.

New pitot tubes are over US$1000, or at least that was the first quote I
received. Are there used aircraft parts, or boneyards, that might carry
these? If so, who are reputable groups here in the US?
