Keeping the original "Mediterranean Blue" lights

[Dingman]

As I promised, I did some experiment with RGB LED's, trying to achieve that greenish blue (azure) original Marantz color... Failed miserably. Then decided to mix 3 warm white and 1 green LED's in the lamp and I think it's close enough. At least for the black faced dial scales. Still didn't test it on silver-faced Marantz:

This is a great solution - a little more write up with part #'s - basically anything you have and people will thank you.

Here is the light blue LED’s on the 2330. Sourced these from DGWOJO.
Very happy with the look; original but better to me anyway.

No connection.

Actually, that's the way I remember them as new. I'm 59 now, so I was a teenager then. It's that blue, plus the face, plus the tube like sound that I fell in love with.

This pic is with both units unrestored EXCEPT for new incadesents.
I tried to color correct the photo to match color on MY monitor. And yes, blue wall behind with natural (the sun) lighting from a window on the right.

I think mine are too greenish. I want the light blue LEDs--where id you find them and where does one source the vellum?

I agree I do like the look of the original bulbs but if you would like to go LEDs try the warm Leds. I find they give a slightly more original/natural effect.
