Unless there is some kind of pressing need I generally won't use old and
obviously damaged coax as a feedline.

 

HOWEVER, I have used worn out/jacket damaged coax as ground radials for
verticals or in a pinch even rotor or remote antenna switchbox control
cables. (things unrelated to feeding RF down a coaxial cable). Waste not;
want not.
