Marantz Dial Lamp Info...
Marantz Dial Lamps
Another tip brought to you by a href=http://members.aol.com/KDresch/audio.net.htmlaudio.net/a, the first moderately priced used audio site tailored exclusively for the Internet - stop by and see all our images of great equipment. This is one of the most common questions I get - Do you know the value and have a source for Marantz dial lamps? DIAL LAMPS and FM METER LAMPS The fuse type lamps used to light the black-out dial of the Marantz 22xx series receivers is a 8V 200 mA bulb. The best replacement is a 8V 250 mA lamp from Parts Express (Part No. 070-120, $.50 each) I'm not sure if the 200 mA version is even still available. Some models use a 8V 300 mA lamp for the FM meters. FUNCTION LAMPS and DIAL POINTER The function (FM, Phono, Aux, etc) lamps originally were bi-pin 8V 40mA units. You can substitute a lamp with leads that Parts Express sells rated at 8V 35 mA (Part No. 070-100 $.40 each) The dial pointer can also use this same lamp, just don't cut off the leads. Another audiophile indicated these may also be 40mA 6.3V. But I got the 8V data from Marantz. STEREO INDICATOR LAMP The stereo indicator lamp is 12V 30mA. Parts Express sells a bulb with leads that may substitute rated at 12V 34mA. (Part No. 070-106 $.40 each) Apparantly the FM Stereo Indicator bulb must be replaced exactly with the original value or you can damage some of the FM miltiplex circuitry. I know the original bulb is bi-pin design. So to summarize: 1) Dial Lamps - Fuse Type 200mA 8V 2) FM meters: Either the above or 300mA 8V depending on model 3) Function Indicators: 40mA 6.3V or 40mA 8V 4) Stereo Indicators: 30mA 12 V (must use this exact value or chance MPX damage) 5) Dial Pointer: White or Red 40mA 6.3V or 40mA 8V Sources: Parts Express (www.partsexpress.com), 1-800-338-0531 MCM Electronics (www.mcmelectronics.com) 1-800-543-4330 Audio70 (http://audio70.safeshopper.com/index.htm?33747) Hope this helps all you Marantz fans!
