Narrative:

First officer and I noticed that the TCASII fail lights were on on both ehsi's. Switched xponders to try and fix problem. ZOB then said they lost our transponder. Switched back xponders and cle got us back. TCASII fail lights were still on. First officer then noticed the GPWS inoperative light came on then off. ZOB called back as they lost our squawk again. Switched xponders again, but did not fix the problem. Assigned first officer to PF and monitor #1 radio and I initiated a call to dispatch. About that time we also noticed that the autothrottles were off, with no indications. I tried to turn the autothrottle back on, but they would not engage. We never heard the solenoid kick off and never got a flashing light. Maintenance came on and I explained what we had. He said it sounded like a bus problem. About that time the first officer said he felt funny and we both looked at the cabin altitude. It was very close to 10000 ft. We donned masks and established communication. I told him to call cle and start down and I would run the checklist. Ran emergency descent qrc and then tried to fix cabin altitude by closing the outflow valve via manual dc. Finished reference items (8-20) and leveled at 9000 ft MSL. Told ZOB we wanted to go to cmh and they vectored us that way. Made PA announcement and called the flight deck. Briefed her it would be a cabin advisory unless she or first officer felt otherwise. Briefed approach and assumed PF duties on downwind. Landed cmh. Supplemental information from acn 514066: captain declared an emergency and we started down while running the emergency descent checklist. Passenger oxygen masks deployed after the cabin. Altitude warning horn came on.
