Un retrieved from the bin, I've got about 8 of them in total that I'm not
happy with.
I will put them on soak, with a higher anode current and see what happens.
I don't have a tazer lying around though! can't go to Tesco's and get one
LOL

You should probably un-bin it and run it for a couple of days before doing
anything so rash. I brought up a set of B6091s this week that had been
sitting in a box for years. One of them worked. On the others, some
cathodes wouldn't light, some struck at the pins but not the numeral, one
wouldn'
If that were the cause, then I'd recommend a vigorous shake to remix the
gases :) Seriously though, the contents of your tube are 98%+ neon, with
the balance being argon and possibly a trace of mercury vapour. No air of
any description in there, else it wouldn't glow at all under the voltage

Many thanks for the advice,
I raised the voltage to 180v and the tube seemed to behave more like I
would expect and at 190v was ok. However the other tubes in the multiplex
developed a hazy pink glow so I quickly turned the voltage back down. I can
only conclude that the tube is on its last l
Just assembling a clock, and I have an intermittent nixie tube (
Rodan GR116's ) that flickers and will not stay on. However just
touching the tube with a finger makes it work so assume it is some
strange capacitive effect.
Not all that strange, Florescent tubes that are on the
Raise the supply voltage to 180V, and see what happens.
