Nixie sockets

More by good luck than good management I have ended up with a vast pile of NOS Mullard ZM1020 nixie tubes.....and no sockets.
Anyone know where such items might be found? (they are 13 pin circular)
Cheers

The folks from Sphere Electronics in Canada have them -- they (Sphere) are always on the tektronix yahoo group if you ever need a CRT!

OK, I now realise I'm going to have to make my own sockets (the receptacles out of D25 females are just the right size) but to avoid wheel reinvention, has anyone made a Protel Autotrax footprint for the ZM1020 pins (13 pins+one space).
Cheers
