The cathodes of all paralled Nixies will be pulled to 0 volts. I was
assuming that you would use a separate anode resistor for each Nixie tube,
because otherwise it wouldn't work for the reason that you state.

1. There is no reason that you couldn't run nixies in parallel, other than the
maximum current rating of the driver
Thanks David, that was the kind of information I was looking for.

1. There is no reason that you couldn't run nixies in parallel, other than
the maximum current rating of the driver chip.
2. Getting Nixies to light up in the dark can be tricky. My Nixie watches
sometimes take a second or so to start glowing in a dark room. A second
activation displays normally.
Question 1. Has anyone tried paralleling two or three Nixies from a single
74141?
I am making a working demonstration with a variety of vintage displays
(Nixie, Dekatron, Numitron, Amperex 8453,etc) that will all count together
from a common clock.
Question 2. The data sheet for the IN16 says
