Blue Bulbs for Marantz

[poppachubby]

I didn't know about the blue version of the lamp. I made a bad assumption...thought the same lamps carried over from the 22xx series to your model, the 2600, 2226B, 2330B, etc. I'd bet both those vendors could advise on the the right lamps, but I wonder why they don't mention the difference.

OK, Vintage have been emailed....as follows...

Hey Bob! Excellent site!! I absolutely loved your Marantz bulb experiment. Your prices are beyond fair, make Ebay blush even. You are favorited in my browser and I will buy whatever you can supply me.



Firstly, I will be needing 2 Pioneer PL 516 belts, which you have. Secondly, I need 4 bulbs for my Marantz 1515. I have a couple of questions though Bob. The four bulbs I pulled out are blue, not clear. They appear to be factory although I can find no evidence that Marantz ever installed blue bulbs. My real question is, do i need these blue bulbs to get the beautiful icy blue glow from my 1515? As you know, the bulbs sit on either end of the FM plate and the 2 meters, not behind. I have attached a photo of the bulbs for your evaluation.



Anxiously awaiting your reply, Chad
