Marantz Model 30 power on indicator bulb

[yrly]

As I said I just picked this thing up yesterday. About the only thing wrong with it is the power indicator bulb is dead. Anyone know the specs of this bulb? The one in there is totally void of any markings. Would love to be able to pick one up today if I could.

I think you'll have to measure the voltage going to it and post a picture, then we can find something for you, good luck!!

I'd almost be willing to bet, that it's an 8 volt bulb. Pretty much every other Marantz bulb is 8 volts.

As for amperage- what format is the bulb? Is it one of those fuse bulbs, a bayonet socket, or a "rice-grain" mini-bulb? Most of the fuse bulbs (the ones that look like a glass fuse) are 200 ma, most of the bayonet ones are 100-200ma, and the "rice-grain" mini-bulbs are usually 35 or 70 ma...

Regards,
Gordon.

Its actually quite similar to bulbs used in automotive dome lights. I gotta find my voltmeter and I will measure the voltage tomorrow. Don't know how many volts it would be. Get that and start from there.

If it looks like that it s a 8V 0.2 A lamp...
