I recently had the same failure experience with a IN-18 in a Blue Dream. The
digits also faded over a period of a little less than a week until no digits
worked. I posted my experience and the general conclusion was that the way the
digits faded was indicative of a failed pin seal.
Are your tubes all from a particular date code range? It really doesn't sound
like a clock failure due to the equal failure of all digits. What tubes and
clock do you have?

Subject: [neonixie-l] One slot on my clock keeps burning out tubes, while the
others have been good for years. Thoughts?
Had a question for you guys, would be curious to see if anyone has seen this
too.
I've had a nixie tube clock for 3+ years and for some reason I've only had to
replace the tube in one of the digits, but I've replaced it 2 times and now
about to do it again for the third. Since this is starting to look like a
pattern and my other tubes have had no issues, I'm thinking it's not the tubes
fault. It's the hour position on the clock where X is: HX:MM:SS. When the tube
goes, it's like a 1-2 week death; slowly bits of the digits aren't visible, and
then less and less until it is digit less.
What's the best way to diagnose?
Much Appreciated.
