You can find sockets  for the A101 at: http://www.gstube.com/catalog/rsh30-0/ 

 

I got some from him a short while back. Note that the picture shows a metal 
clamp; he does not have them anymore.

 

Cheers, Bill van Dijk

Since I can't find sockets for the A101's I've been worried about how I was 
going to mount them to the chassis.
It looks like these will fill the bill:

They will cinch down on the base of the tube.  Since they are made of nylon 
they shouldn't cause any damage.
I don't know if they will release though.

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.

 

Thanks!
