I have a ~15-year-old Farberware Smokeless Grill,
and recently its power cord burned through in a 
sudden puff of black smoke.  It's been hell trying
to find a replacement.  

I went first to farberware.com, but it seems that 
these grills aren't made anymore.  In fact, no one
seems to make the style of countertop electric grill
that uses a steel grating over a conventional heating
element; they've been completely supplanted by those
flat George Foreman-style grills that take up absurd
amounts of counter space.

I also have a small, circular one called a Char-B-Q, 
and when its element wore out, I wasn't able to obtain
a replacement or even buy a whole new grill.  It's been
sitting in a closet for years, awaiting repair.

So far I've been to Meyer Appliance and Barron Park
Electric in Mountain View.  No go.  Does anyone have
any suggestions for where I might find generic power
cords for appliances, and maybe even generic heating
elements?
