You have to remove the top cover. There is a screw in the top centre of each meter that is holding down a plate. Remove those and pull out the small board that has the lamps clipped in. There are 2 bulbs for each meter. Pretty simple :yes:
Any ratings on those lamps for a model 140?? I think the model 250 uses 6.3v/150ma bayonet base lamps. :scratch2:

Gotta keep those beautiful blue meters shining!
The 140 takes (4) standard 8V fuse lamps to illuminate the meters.
I thought that the 250 used the same - at least according to my data base.
The (2) peak indicator lamps are small wired 8v lamps.

The Marantz link is in french, ok, but the Service Manual on the page is in english...
Maybe you want the link to download directly :

PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE, let me know how the LED's work out. I may do the same. Thanks.
I have seen before and after pics of the 140 using the LED lamps, and there is quite a difference for the better.
Once I get another set of power and USB cables for my digicam, I'll try and post a before and after.
IMHO LED's are the way to go for the 140. Beautiful blue, dispersed evenly, no heat, easy to replace. The last big plus is... you can go back to the original lamps any time you want. I will never go back myself. I like 'em.
