Vintage Marantz fuse lamps?

I have a Marantz 2216. The bulb requirements are 8v 200 ma. My question is would a 8v250ma fuse lamp be to big for the stereo? And yes I do plan on changing all 5.

    I'd use 200ma lamps. 250 ma lamps might put more of a drain on the power transformer than it would like. If you only changed one bulb, it would not be a problem. But all five might push things. If you can't find them, try topbulb.com. Believe it or not, Radio Shack has carried them in the past, and may still have them.

    2216 is a good receiver; hold onto it.
