Quoted from gmkalos:I remember hearing something about the plastic sheathing on the copper wire over time shrinks from the heat, basically tightening up the windings on the spool? But that would make sense heat in general.
If the enamel shrunk then it would actually leave more space between the windings making everything looser, not tighter. but it does not, so its not relevent.
