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.

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: http://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%20Sheets/Richco%20Inc%20PDFs/SCH-1.pdf 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.

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.
