I have some chinese tubes with long wire leads.   Those got soldered to 
a 14-pin DIP header.   Then plug those into a DIP ic socket.

tubes with wire leads?
         

        What kind of sockets are you using?   I've always soldered the IN14s 
directly to the PCB, so curious to see what you're using.

                                                        Cut the legs in a 
spiral fashion so they're all slightly different in length, then feed the legs 
one by one....lot easier.
                                        
                                
                        
                        
                                 
                        How big of a step between leads? I need to install 
several different tubes into sockets with limited depth, not solder them to 
pads and snip the ends. A bit trickier.
                        
                                 
                        
                                I realize that this is probably like riding a 
bicycle. Once you catch on it's easy.
