7/26/14 - Both Jerry and Morzh - you guys got it !! I was a tube. After taking a few minutes and swapping out some of the tubes with other known good ones, it turns out it was the 50Y7GT tube. When I rechecked the tube in the tube tester it tested BAD on a second setting (I guess a second filament) that I had overlooked to check. When I popped in the extra one I had - it went back to full volume. Thanks guys !
