    If you really wanted you can put boiling water on those smaller lamp end plugs and after a few min pull out the brass with relative ease Some people freeze them and smash them inside a pillowcase or leave them as is and get paid the dirty brass price. the choice is purly personal. most of th silver ones are brass if you file them a little you will see the yellowish color underneath. Good luck and looking foward to hearing about your first run.

    Or put them in a vice, and use needle noses to twist them out. A lot less time consuming.
