Hi Dylan, I have had little issues with the A9A bulbs and I have done a lot of counting circuits. Of course, I suspect that any type 2 terminal neon bulbs will cause you grief if you want good reliability. I've tried aging them and that didn't seem to help. Matching the bulbs seemed to work the best, though if you get reasonably new bulbs (since the date of mfg) they are pretty (though not 100%) pretty close and you can match them as you build the counter.
