I'm thinking about building a clock using Dekatrons as the counting logic. It looks like A101 dekatrons are fairly easy to find, but I cannot locate socket for them. I'll probably use QS30-1 nixies as an alternate display. They use B13B sockets, so a dekatron that also uses the B13B socket would be more visually appealing. I'd like to find a small-height dekatron to match the QS30-1 profile, something like the Z504S, ZM1070, or 8433. Does anyone have a good source for low-height selector dekatrons with a B13B base?
Each clock will need eight dekatrons, and I plan on building two clocks. The finished product will have two rows of seven tubes, the first 6 in the top row nixies and the rest dekatrons. The left-most top row will be a dekatron showing tenths of seconds. Under each nixie tube will be the dekatron for that digit.
