well, #2 son picked up a Marantz 2250B in the garbage at Boston College -- was apparently owned by a smoker -- which was readily fixed with some isopropyl alcohol -- problem is that the illumination for the tuner dial suffers from blown bulbs -- these look like a standard 3AG fuse with a spiral element -- from those I was able to examine, the current drawn is about 130mA, voltage across each is about 7 V. The only marking on the bulb is F8V.
Does anyone know of replacements. If not I will put in a string of alternating white and orange LED's to emulate the nice glow of the lamps.

you could use automotive lamps....the same ones that they use in dome and courtesy interior lights

I believe that these lamps are available on ebay all of the time.
Another avenue is:
http://www.classic-audio.com/marantz/mindex.html
I was sure I saw a link somewhere for these. You'll have to browse around.

Try "All Electronics" in CA. 8V 250mA AGC fuse-type lamp 75 cents / ea. The originals are 200mA... No big deal.
www.alleleltronics.com
Alternately, there are a few people selling the 250mA lamps on ebay in sets of 5 or 6 for $7 to $12 !
Very lucky find! I found a Marantz 115B tuner and 1150 integrated amplifier together in the dumpster at my old apartment a few years ago. Cleaned pots, replaced lamps... worked fine and I use them almost daily in the garage. It's amazing and sickening what gets tossed in the trash!
BTW: 12-Volt auto lamps run HOT and can easily melt plastic. I have an original Marantz 3-1/2" meter that suffered from this.
Good Luck!

Here in Suburban NJ (Whitelandia) I used to go to the dump every Saturday morning with the kids -- some people go to deposit, others to withdraw --
we also have a Fisher tube receiver, 2 CD players, a pair of KLH speakers etc., and a Kitchen-Aid mixer, Cannondale bike frame, complete set of Cliffs Notes etc. Regrettably, they don't let you rummage anymore -- to many folks like us selling the stuff on EBay.
we also found many old Collins and Bendix Avionics radios at the airport dumpster.

Dumpster diving rules.
A friend of mine once found a Pioneer sx950 and a Radio Crap CD player in someones trash. I fixed both, kept the pioneer and gave him back the CD player, and we were both very happy.
I still have the Pioneer. Except for Mr Pass, they don't make 'em like that anymore.

Looks great. Where from?
I looked at All's site today because I need fuse lamps also. The 8V bulbs are $1.00 ea and $.85 in quantities of 10-up. Sorry for my error.

the ALL ELECTRONICS 8V bulbs draw a lot more current than the Marantz bulbs, i.e. 300 ma. == you'll have to put a series resistor in to reduce the current.
