Jorg - Are you using AC, or DC for your filaments ?

I use a center-tapped 2.5V transformer, with a series dropping resistor and 
fuse, for each tube filament.
The center-tap of the filament transformer is driven to a DC voltage to set 
the correct bias.

I have my NIMO board running with 4.8 volts of bias, meaning that when a 
numeral is off, it's at -4.8VDC relative to the filament.
Since my driver uses a 10V supply, when a numeral is on, it's at +5.2VDC 
relative to the filament. 

It takes some experimenting with those values, and the anode voltage, to 
get the best image. Right now I'm using 1980V for the anode supply, and I'm 
measuring around 30uA average current. Some numerals require more current 
than others.

Here's an old youtube video from last year, and there's no ghosting:
