Does anyone have any tips for non-destructively dismantling old incandescent lamps (E27 base) with the intent to modify/reassemble them?

The process is presumably "desolder the pip on the base, then loosen the cement/epoxy/whatever that attaches the base to the glass envelope and separate"

But does anyone have any details of how to do that last bit?

I'll tag some communities that might know, feel free to add more?

A surprise extra instalment of RC2014 adventures tonight, as MajenkoTech's viewers have voted for me to carry on and build the mystery add-on module I bought from @rc2014 in person at last year's #emfcamp.

Tune in from 2130 BST at twitch.tv/baljemmett to find out which very important peripheral I'll be adding to the machine tonight!

(I was going to give everybody a short break and do something else this week, but the people have spoken and who am I to disagree?)

As its about a year since #emf2024 I'm sure you're missing being able to stand around in the sunshine with friends and #phone stupid things...

Well, I've started to put some of my own "Stupid Phone Toys" on a menu system that is callable from the PSTN

If you're in the UK, you can call 0117 9111228

If you're outside the UK the international number is +441179111228

More toys may be added in the future as I build them...

Let me know if you find one that tickles you!
