I have about 30 of these, and none showed any flaky behavior. But I do 
think the 6091 is not as reliable as it's smaller predecessor, the 5092. So 
far I've had two 6091 tubes fail in my big clock in the past 5+ years, and 
zero failures with 5092's
One developed an internal short, and the other has severe discoloration, 
presumably from sputtering.

Speaking of B6091'sI have a set of B6091's that refuse to illuminate on
digits 5 and 9 but cleanly illuminate on all other digits...there are
occasional flashes on the 5 and 9 when running a rotating sequence of all
digits at about 180Vare these tubes particularly finicky after
prolonged storage?
