pre-amp tubes V1, V2 & V5 are glowing but 3,4,6 & 7 are not. Can 4 tubes go at once? Very odd. I'll replace and see what happens.

As I'm pretty sure you know, the preamp tubes don't even have to glow to be working - especially after the 'burn-in' time - but maybe, never know. Maybe it's only as simple as blowing the fuse (4 amp Slo-Blo)..? That's usually the culprit of a dead, or not working amp.
If you have some extra 6L6's lying around, I'd give those a shot next.
Without doing it ourselves, this is just one of those things by 'process of elimination'.
I'm sure your amp is fine, brotha. 8)

But could all 4 6L6 tubes die at the same time? I've been playing Boogies for 20 years and never had this problem.
