Good evening. I wondered if anyone could help me please? Does anyone know where you can get fuse bulbs for a Marantz 2225 receiver in the UK? Either 8v 200mA or 250mA bulbs. Cheers, Richard

I listed one or two places where they can be had in this thread, too:

Chris, thanks. I need 5 for the tuning dial and two for the meters (I think these may be a different rating). Cheers

Thank you for the link. I have seen one US site suggesting using LED replacements. Have you replaced the velum paper on these receivers? What on earth is velum paper? I gather it turns brown with age and this makes the dial glow green rather than blue.

Vellum (with 2 'L's') It just diffuses the light, making the dial glow at an even rate right across the height & width of the glass, so you don't get bright spots near each bulb.
Real vellum is made of calf skin I think & was what they used to use for parchment paper. High quality paper vellum is fabric based.
It goes more yellowy than brown when old and exposed to light. And yes, you're right there - it turns your display green!
Like this:
You can use any paper that is translucent. If you want proper vellum paper, go to a craft or artists materials supplier - the first one that comes up on Google is this:
