Thanks for the reply. I'm familiar with Grahame's excellent work and some of the Dance circuits. I just wasn't sure if I am missing anything when considering the MXT-90s for this type of project. They have a cathode/anode and a control electrode so I thought they would work in a counting circuit, but I wasn't sure if I was missing something more subtle that would make them problematic as a choice.
