The other problem is, some of them don't display at all. I know I have the Anode correctly connected ( I can see the ceramic insulator at the base of the pin, inside the bottle) the only digits that light up, are 2, 3, 6, and 7, but those should be 0, 1, 2, and 3. Pins are all connected properly to the 74141, I checked and quadruple checked. I put a different code in there, just to check, and same result. I suspect I have a bad ground, or poor grounding scheme somewhere. Perhaps, something is getting too much current? I have a 330 ohm on the +5v of the 74141, and the tube itself, has a 10K on the anode. No other resistors or caps are in this circuit. Maybe I got lucky last time when this worked, but this time, it's not happening.
