You should be able to source complete bulbs for pennies a piece and althoug
h you said removing the glass bulb is a pain=2C if you soak them in water
=2C the glue usually degrades enough that removal is fairly easy. After tha
t just clip off the leads and you have the bare base which you want. No nee
d 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.

Update on my attempt to quiet the buzz in my fluorescent fixtures.
I used E-6000 to glue the inductor to the inside of the component box.
The E-6000 seemed too stiff, and continued to transmit the vibration to
the fixture.
I wrapped the inductor with some self adhering rubber electrical tape,
similar to the current self fusing silicone tape, except probably 70's
vintage.
That had brought the buzz down to an acceptable level, as long as I keep
the music turned up. :) I will think twice before I buy really cheap
fixtures again.
