Thank you very much for the reply. I pulled the 7Y4 tube and switched on the power to it... no sizzle, no burning.
That's what the problem was. I guess that's the tube just suddenly decided to kick the bucket. I hope it didn't take out the other tubes with it. The 7Y4 tube has the mirror finish in the top of it and several others have it too. However, after about 2 minutes turned on without the 7Y4, the rest of the tubes are very dimly lit so they may not be totally dead.
