Brando: I meant to say that all of the numerals inside of a single IN-18 tube in the H[X]:MM:SS position did the same thing as you described. My cathodes in the bad tube faded out from the top over a period of about a week or less and the failure began with little warning after operating perfectly since the initial power up of the clock. I was also running the cathode poisoning prevention. Have not had an issue with other tubes in other location of the same clock and I got about 2 years out of the first failed tube before replacing with no issues noted on any other tubes.
-----------------
I recently had the same failure experience with a IN-18 in a Blue Dream. The digits also faded over a period of a little less than a week until no digits worked. I posted my experience and the general conclusion was that the way the digits faded was indicative of a failed pin seal.
Are your tubes all from a particular date code range? It really doesn't sound like a clock failure due to the equal failure of all digits. What tubes and clock do you have?

Brando, that sucks. What make and model of clock is it? Can you post a picture?Nick

Had a question for you guys, would be curious to see if anyone has seen this too.I've had a nixie tube clock for 3+ years and for some reason I've only had to replace the tube in one of the digits, but I've replaced it 2 times and now about to do it again for the third. Since this is starting to look like a pattern and my other tubes have had no issues, I'm thinking it's not the tubes fault. It's the hour position on the clock where X is: HX:MM:SS. When the tube goes, it's like a 1-2 week death; slowly bits of the digits aren't visible, and then less and less until it is digit less.What's the best way to diagnose?Much Appreciated.

To be honest with you Brando, I've never had an IN14 tube die on me...but perhaps I've been lucky. The fact that you've had the same position die on you twice and soon to be a third makes me suspicious of the board. Is there a schematic to it you can post?

Thanks for the response Nick, check out the pics I posted in the latest comment. Let me know if you want to see a different angle, LED light pollution got in the way a bit too..--
