Topband: WD-1A

[Bill Wichers]

If you're lucky, you might be able to grab the innermost end of the wire
and pull it out of the center of the coil (I'm assuming your rotted-away
reel left a "coil" of cable). There are actually commercial pull-out
type packages of wire made similarly to this. The wire will come out
with extra twists in it though.

If that doesn't work I think you're stuck with a lot of untangling work
if you want to make use of the wire.
