Looks like your lamp is a NE-51, use to be a common one back years ago. Don't have a 223 but it's typical for the tester to have a 2 sided cap (grid) one side will fit the older larger caps like a 24A or 75 tube and the other would fit the cap one the newer self centering tubes like a 6A8 or 6K7. After taking a quick look at the manual it doesn't appear to have a 5pin or 6pin socket. Must have an adapter to fit these tubes. Conar was out of Wash Dc making kits in the late '60s/70s. By this time 5 an 6 pin tubes are considered obsolete.

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
