200-300 watts would be too much for your set. I wasn't really serious about the 3 way. Like OC suggested just try different wattage bulbs starting with a lower wattage. A lower wattage bulb will have higher resistance than a higher wattage, which is why it will drop more voltage and provide a softer start. But if it's too low it also won't allow the TV to get enough voltage.
