Mesa DC-5 is not working...

Danny	Mesa DC-5 is not working... My Mesa DC-5 recently stopped making any sound at all. I replaced the output tubes, but to no avail. The amp appears to be powering up all right, as all the preamp and poweramp tubes are glowing orange as they normally do. The fuse is fine. Its just that when I switch the amp from standby, nothing happens. Is there anything simple that I can check by myself before taking it to a tech? Can anyone recommend a good Mesa tech in the Tacoma, WA area? Thanks
