Straighten a McDermott Pool Cue Shaft

Ive had thtis cue for over 20 years, I last used it 7 or 8 years ago and put it away "I thought" correctly. I decided to join a League this winter and the shaft has what appears to be 2 slight bends in it. I looked into replacing it and not only is cost an issue ($220) I hate to separate this beautiful cue that has served me so well. Ive heard ideas of hanging and weighting it in a sauna and actually trying to counter the bends by hands (dont think so).

Any suggestions or Ideas?

Are there any manufactures of quality shafts that are compatible that I can use, as Im not able to spend the 200+ but still love the cue?

Was a gift in the late 80's and she didnt give me the receipt, But I will send it to them before I try anything myself. Thank You. Determined it is a C5 with a little Research.
