As stated in the title, the top line (the 'a' segment according to: http://www.tube-tester.com/sites/nixie/ ... /IV-18.pdf) will not light up.
I have a few pictures below of my build and of the problem.
I followed the steps in the following thread about a similar problem(a bottom line not showing up): http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.ph ... 08&start=0
and even when shorting the 'a' and 'f' segment the 'a' segment still will not light up. So this leads me to believe it is an error with the tube rather than a soldering error... But I could be mistaken . Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Re: IceTube Clock Top segment doesn't light up
Nice looking build so far. The solder joints look good.
That test pretty much confirms it. Double check that you have the right pins - it's easy to lose count . But if it still won't light, contact [email protected] with a link to this thread and ask for a new tube & side board.even when shorting the 'a' and 'f' segment the 'a' segment still will not light up.
