Hot air gun.
Heat it up until the wax runs, hold the tube and pull the guts out by
the lead.

You can also use a toaster oven at the lowest setting that will melt the
wax or use a heat lamp. I have used both methods successfully.

BTW Aerovox and Cornell Dubilier are both still in business:

http://www.cde.com/

Other old time names that are still with us include:
Amphenol http://www.amphenol.com/


Amphenol sold off their older connectors to WPI, who was later
bought by 'The Cooper Group'.

Don't they make soldering guns? I seem to recall a Cooper Group
bought Weller at some point.



Weller, Xcelite, Crescent Tools and many other companies.



It looks like Cooper has been bought by Apoex Tools:
