I guess the best thing would be to make an adapter plug. With the B13B socket on top, and an octal plug, on the bottom. I actually have one that was made to accept a Z504S(ZM1070), which then could be used as a 6082 substitute. But If I made one, I'd have to add the two jumper blocks, so other tubes could be used. There are several B13B dekatrons:
8353 CT4251 Z564S Z562S 7978 Z504S/ZM1070 Z505S/ZM1060 And the pinouts vary among the lot. Maybe prewired for Z504S, since those seem to be the most common, relatively speaking.
