Curling iron?

This may work or it may not. To straighten them I use my heat gun. I would guess you could coil them around a metal rod and heat it up. This may just melt them , its a real exact temp science. or just by a new coil and solder it in.

will try the hot air once,,, if I ruin it I'll get another thanks

just flip the coils of the cord "inside out" winding them this way will tighten them up!

trying to visulize that,,,,, not really clear what/how to do that

Twist the coils so they coil in the opposite direction. You will have to do it for each coil. I really don't know how to explain what I mean. I used to have to do it all the time. I work on aircraft for a living so I spend alot of time with headsets on and they have the same coiled cord on them. The coil would lose its elasticity so I would flip the coils over at that would "reset" the coils.

If you live close to a truck stop there is always a cb shop and for about $2.00 a foot you can purchase all you want.

If you have a heat gun I'd go for that. about a year ago I did a similar job with boiling water, kind of a messy process, but did the job
