I thought all was going well with my register file. The even registers at the top were working perfectly, with my increment/decrement chip. I wired up a mirror image for the odd registers... And the increment/decrement was producing nonsense. Lots of debugging revealed that some of the chip's pins weren't making contact with the metal strips.
I'm off to rebuild on a different breadboard. See you after I've pulled out and replaced 150 wires (!)

Curse those cheap breadboards! 😣

tl;dr - don't buy bargain basement breadboards 😡
