do not archive
Does anyone know of a source for the part of a bulb that is the base.
The piece that the glass is mounted into and has the electric contacts
on it.
I'm thinking about fabricating LED replacements for some low volt/DC
incandescent. I know they are for sale but expensive and the process of
removing the glass and the filament to reuse old bases is a pain.
Thanks for any help.

Raymond;
You should be able to source complete bulbs for pennies a piece and although you said removing the glass bulb is a pain, if you soak them in water, the glue usually degrades enough that removal is fairly easy. After that just clip off the leads and you have the bare base which you want. No need to break the glass in most cases.
Not what you asked for but maybe a solution to your problem.

Bob McC,
I hadn't tried dissolving the glue. I assumed that it wouldn't be
easily dissolved. I'll definitely try soaking not only in water but
some more aggressive solvents, might also try heat. Thanks very much
for the suggestion. I'll report back when I get some time to try it.
