You might throw the cord out, but don't forget that this is a source

An excellent suggestion.

FWIW, since many, MANY years ago, as a source for replacement lamps, it has
been MUCH cheaper to buy a new set, remove the lamps and throw away the wire
and sockets, than to buy packs of replacement lamps.

True but I find that for the minatures it is not a paying proposition
to try to find and replace a dead bulb in a dead string. Find it, get
it working, hang it and find that another has blown. I just toss all
mine and buy new ones every year.
