Did you alreday found out the EZ10B will work too ? I think to make adapters from old octal tube bases.

The circuit will work, but the A101 13-pin base is clearly not compatible with an octal (8-pin) socket. You can use Molex 0.093 socket pins and solder/crimp them short lengths of wire (insulated & stranded, 22 to 18 gauge). Cover up most of the pin and a bit of the wire (past the insulation) with heat-shrink tubing. Make 13 of these and use them as a make-shift socket. There are 5 signals types on your standard 2-guide dekatron (an A101 is such a tube). Anode, G1, G2, K, and NDX (aka K0). On a A101 the Anode is pin 8, G1 pin 5, G2 pin 10, NDX pin 1, and all the other pins tied to K. Leave no pins unconnected. Here's a link on extra dekatron stuff: http://threeneurons.wordpress.com/dekatron-stuff/auxiliary-dekatron-stuff/ and on showing the "Molex pin" trick: http://threeneurons.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/skt_pins093_1.jpg Again, socket is octal, but tube here, is duo-decal.
