Terry,
I am surprised that a Nixie tube with wire leads would not be socketed. That's
the easiest type of tube to put a socket on!
These tubes often are sold with a plastic alignment wafer that will align the
wires for you, if you hold the wafer against the PCB while pushing the wires
down through it.

Another quick update.
Replacing the 10's hours tube worked fine. So I do indeed have two bad tubes.
I've extracted the other bad tube (1's minutes) and will replace it this
evening.
Once I got that going -- after tearing out what is left of my hair trying to get
all 13 tube wires into the PCB -- I noticed that the decimal point on the 10's
seconds tube was not lighting. Closer inspection revealed that not only was it
not only not lighting -- it was missing all together. Looks like the connecting
tab is there, but no cathode. No glow. Owner is not concerned.
