Marantz 2015 bi-pin lamp value question

I am working on a Marantz 2015 . I am getting conflicting info on the value of the bi-pin lamp for the stereo light.
I know it is 6.3 volts. What is the mA rating ? is it 40mA or 30mA ? I was told by someone my bulb is wrong and that is why the stereo light won't come on with strong signal stations and the lamp should be 30mA rating.
I have never heard of a 6.3 30mA bi-pin bulb in these units. Anyone know what the true value of this bulb should be ?

I use 6.3 40mA, both bulbs need to be replaced at the same time, if both are bad. If one is bad and one is good it will not work.

Thanks, Looks like I will use a 6.3 40mA bulb. This is a model 2015. There is just one bi-pin bulb and it is for the stereo light. There are no lights for the selector positions AM, FM,Tape, Phono, or AUX. I think the 22XX series use two bulbs for the stereo light and one light each for the functions.
