That's no fun! I would say that it's a tube issue. I've seen it on a few
occasions with buying used nixies off of ebay. I don't know any way to fix it
- short of replacing with a different tube. Maybe run for a day or two and see
if they improve. If these came from Pete, send him a photo in an email. He
is reputable. I've gotten kits with tubes from him a couple times with no
issues.

Subject: Re: [neonixie-l] First Build. Some help to decide
Hello all,
I bought a PV electronics Spectrum kit with Z566m tubes.
I have "bombarded" Pete with stupid questons through this build, so I guess he
is geting fed up of me,(I would be anyway) so I'll ask some questions here
Did the first tube test, and in 3 tubes some of the lead in wires glow.
Tube 1 all wires glows
Tube 2 wire 1,2,3,4,5 and 9 glows
Tube 3 wire 9 glow.
It does not matter if i put these tubes in another socket, the wires still
glows.
voltage is 170 volt
Is this normal?
Is it possible to do anything about this?
Will this have any influence on tube life length?
