Please post some pictures showing the problem. Based on what you said earlier:
"Did the first tube test, and in 3 tubes some of the lead in wires glow. Tube 1 all wires glows Tube 2 wire 1,2,3,4,5 and 9 glows Tube 3 wire 9 glow." It sounds like the wires between the tube pins and the cathode digits are glowing. I've seen that on several different types of nixies and haven't really seen much improvement over time. You may notice it less later though. If the digits light fully, try not to let it bother you too much...
