Has anyone ever had a coil cord that has lost its kinkiness? I have a Sunray Xcellerator 5" coil that has lost its tight coils. The cord is so straight that it will not allow me to shorten the lower shaft on my Etrac. the lower shaft is almost out of the upper shaft. I need a permanent solution to put the "curves" back in.......... HELP!

Could you possibly tightly wrap and secure the cable around a length of tube (maybe an inch thick)....submerge in very hot/boiling water for a few minutes and then submerge in some icy cold water for a few minutes?
A heat gun could be used instead of hot water but don't melt the outer cable.

I actually did this the other day. I tie wrapped my starting point to s small wooden dowel, then coiled on snugly and tie wrapped the end run. I then used my heat gun and heated it uniformly, let it naturally cool and had a coiled cord on my headphones that was previously not coiled.
