As JOAT would say if he were still posting, "google is your friend."
A google search on "ceramic screw base heating element" (without the
quotes) turned up a number of hits.

Look at the second picture down on the page. I think that is the exact
one you are talking about.

No but I would bet those would work great if mine conked out. Mine is a
ceramic cone wrapped with an exposed screen door spring like heating element
such as you would see in an elect dryer coiled arround the outside. It has a
screw base at the bottom of the cone just like a regular light bulb. RM~
Yeah, but it wasn't too fun for kid not use to camping. I put the
piece of dried apple in my mouth and it promptly sucked every bit of
water out of it.

That's interesting, the one I've used for years used a ceramic cone shaped
heating element that screwed into a standard lightbulb socket like the old
electric heaters of the 30's and 40's. Doubt I could ever find a replacement
if needed.
Thanks for the thought, RM~
While I don't know of any site that has plans, I remember the one a
teacher of mine built. It was about 2'x2'x5' the upper half contained
a series of slots and screen shelves. (where the material to be dried
was placed.)
In the lower half he placed a space heater facing the opposite side
and a piece of sheet metal wedged into a curve to deflect the heat
upwards. The top was open. The screened shelves were boxed in making
it more a "drying tunnel' than a dehydration box. It did the trick
though.
Sorry I don't have more precise measurements. But I remember this
from the 6th grade and I'm 45 now.
