REPLY:

At least one ham did homebrew a socket for this tube:

It's clever how he used an SO-239 connector for the heater pin.

But that looks like a lot of work. I think just clamping the grid flange to the
chassis and using homebrew clamp rings for the other elements would be good
enough and much easier. We'll see.
