La Pavoni heating element good or bad?

I've got an element here for a 220 machine that I can't really test aside from checking for continuity. From these pics is it usable?

If the readings are steady with no wander or drift and if you check terminal to base plate and get no reading (check for shorted element) then it is a go.
