Help identify the Marantz Receiver Blue for the dial
used in their receivers?


I didn't find it else where so maybe someone here knows it?

In the rosco-roscolux.pdf are their standard colors.

In column 3, from about R60 to R72 are many shades of blue.
Many are two digit numbers preceded by R.
Newer numbers use a three digit or four digit codes.
The blues continue into the fourth column.

R76 Light Green blue...R85 Deep Blue... R385 Royal Blue.
Etc.

So anyone restore their Marantz with one of these colors or similar?
Once identified, we'd always know which to buy eliminating any guess work.
If they aren't rosco, their website has cross references...
Here is the link to their website Filters and Diffusions: LINK
And below are the Roscolux Color Filters.
What is the lucky number?
you can vote three times.
If you want me to add something, I will, but I'll have to delete something
first, to let me know definitely what doesn't work.

Trying to keep things in one place, Tom says:
(snipped)
The dial and meter lights are Don's (whsh93a) white snap-in LED replacements,
with heavy vellum behind the dial and meters.
The stereo and Dolby indicators are 623nm red LEDs and the dial pointer is a 589nm yellow LED.


Thanks

I have a 2230 on the bench right now with new incandescent bulbs and new vellum. The closest color on your chart to those lights was Italian Blue. It's hard to get a perfect match because the dial is translucent. But that color was very close.
 
I would hope that a few more people would take the time and review this.
It should help everyone who's restoring these receivers.

From the link with default setting of 20 per page, page 10 & 11
show most of the blues. There are close blues also
bottom of page 9.
