Arduino Nixie clock


hi guys,

i have designed nixie clock using russian 74141 equivalents. im using arduino write 4 bit data latch , stobing latch whenever want data change. sounds great in theory, i'm having issues. outputs sit @ 1.5-2v. ive checked input voltage seems good, 4.5v. can see major issues design?

thanks!!

what purpose of r9 , r5?  don't design 170 volt nixie driver.  getting voltage directly line voltage.  not idea.  bought neat little hv power supply guy on ebay 12 bucks.  works great.  search on ebay nixie power , find it.

also, why wasting chip resources?  use 373 drive both units , tens digit. 

what state of oe?  looks signal tied 373 chips.  oe must low enable outputs.  if bring high outputs of 373 chips float 1.3 v.  ground signal @ 373 chips , not drive processor.

do numerals on nixies?  pull 373 drives decoder 1 of digits.  ground 4 inputs decoder , should light 0 digit.

do have code written?  in middle of response, doing le signal 373 chips.  need 1 each digit.  @ schematic again see right bet have 1 le 373's.
