I think that wouldn't solve the problem. This would just shift the ghosted 
digits to other tubes.

I've tried this method, but with bigger resistors (power dissipation). 
Unfortunately, it didn't help. I had the pre-bias voltage at 120v with 
anode voltage 180V. Still I have ghosting present, it seems that it is not 
a cathode related problem - again narrowing to leaking PNP transistors.

Thanks for the read.  The driving method at figure 8 is clever, reducing 
the number of components on PCB. I think any microcontroller could be used 
in this configuration.
