Firstly, so glad I reached out to this forum...great input and thank you all. I am reaching out to several of the resources suggested. I do have a decent amplifier that is filling in adequately while I get this addressed. I will report back once it's all fixed. As to the suggestion I take it apart myself, I confess I'm not confident to do more damage than good so while it very well could be "something stupid like that", in most scenarios I'd be the stupid one for trying. Thanks again all!!!
