Does the wire have memory, ie, is it hard to straighten?

It is easily straightened by clamping one end in a vise and twisting 3-4 twists per inch with pliers or vise-grips while pulling it straight.

It is very hard to straighten....maybe a thinner gauge would work, but not this one.....unless you really have muscle power.

Actually I straightened my curly one just fine, I set my flat iron at 325 degrees and as long as you just glide it over the strands and don't hold it in a single place it should be fine.

I bought this some time ago. I believe it was a softer wire, but I! not positive. I used it all tho.

No, the wire is fairly stiff. I suppose you might be able to bend it with some force but it might break.

It straightens out. I loop it like this to store it so it doesn't get tangled up.

not if you mean turning the cable. That's normal because it gives the full turn to when we use the iron cable not have to twist and turn it, especially when we do some curls with the iron. I hope my answer serves you.

Yes, in it's default state it is very stiff. You may actually have trouble getting it straight enough for making pushrods because of the natural curve of the wire its packaging. Since the wire is high carbon steel, it should respond well to annealing and re-hardening if you are willing to put that much work into it.

No b/c it has a Velcro strap to keep all the loose wires all neat clean and together

It's pretty simple a hard wire crimped inside a metal tube. I'm not sure how they can be different other than composition.

You can re-align the wire by pushing the arm from the side, or pulling it. If that makes sense.

No, it is a simple wire from back panel. But it is enough in the city, especially for FM band, for best quality sound, in my case of course.

Sorry, I have been off line for a few days. I know of no part that would be mistaken for a wire. I imagine that the wire was not intended to be there. The mill works great.

The wires are pretty small and equally brittle. However, I had no problem splicing and stripping them and I'm no expert. So it just takes patience and a steady hand

No, the cable is not stiff enough to hold a shape and will not hold a coiling the shape on its own as shown in the picture. It is rubber, not wire. Hope that helps.

Yes, the only tough part is the rubber gasket to route wire through the metal. I simply don't remove it to make it easier.

Yes, there is a wire with a loop at the end. I had to attach a hook to my line to hand it.

This isn't paperclip wire, or anything like it. It takes a bend and wants to stay there. You can bend it with your hands, but I'd suggest a pair of pliers, needle nose if you want a tight bend. It will also provide much more rigidity than paperclip wire.
