Or: For IN-8, you could just purchase a kit from Pete at PV Electronics.
There are others. Already have lighted bases, robust menus, GPS support and
established code. All on a nice clean board.
It's a fallback if you end up suffering from scope-creep when you realize how
much work it takes to do a nice clean design.
Just a suggestion if life gets complicated. :)

Do you actually want to mount the Nocrotec sockets onto another PCB, or did you
want a PCB that you can put the LEDs and IN-8s in directly? Since the Nocrotec
sockets are actually just
small PCBs, it seems a little silly to mount them onto another PCB. I can of
course, but I'm not sure if that's what you want.
Right, I realize now it would be redundant. The first thing I wanted that lead
me to the nocrotec sockets was, a socket of any kind. I wanted the ability to
remove the IN-8's without de-soldering them. The lighted part was nice bonus.
However, yes I suppose I could just use the sockets supplied with the nocrotec
base kit and put them into your board. Basically I realized that this would not
meet my desire to be neat and plug-and-play. To be able to go from the nixie
tube contact pads through circuit traces to the ribbon cable.
Given the choice I would prefer to have a single integrated board and discard
the six individual lighted socket boards I bought. A single board with
integrated led's.
A note on the led power, depending on how I get power to the LED's perhaps you
could run that part of the circuit to a separate two pin connector? Again, I'm
not sure at this moment where I can tap into the main board for power.
