Display not quite working right #2

Hi there, first of all what you've made here is fantastic! I can't tell you how helpful it's been so far - all the diagrams in particular!

I've recreated your wiring with an MC6205 (although I believe it's exactly the same as MS6205) and it's aaaalmost working. I was hoping you might have a clue as to what's going wrong. Could be anything, and I'm a little out of ideas :(

Code snippet:

display.setCursor(0, 0);
display.write("A");
delay(1000);
display.setCursor(1, 1);
display.write("B");
delay(1000);
display.setCursor(2, 2);
display.write("C");
delay(1000);
display.setCursor(3, 3);
display.write("D");
delay(1000);
display.setCursor(4, 4);
display.write("E");
delay(1000);
display.setCursor(5, 5);
display.write("F");
delay(1000);
display.setCursor(6, 6);
display.write("G");
delay(1000);
display.setCursor(7, 7);
display.write("H");
delay(1000);
display.setCursor(8, 8);
display.write("I");
delay(1000);
display.setCursor(9, 9);
display.write("J");
delay(1000);

Expected display output

A
 B
  C
   D
    E
     F
      G
       H
        I
         J

Actual output (same every time):

Any clue dude? Perhaps I've done something wrong with the shift register..?

PS: Did you use some software to draw the text diagrams, or just by hand? Either way, fantastic work thanks again.
