Also, I dislike having to mess wires from the chassis to the shell. I like the way that my P2K GP30 uses clear plastic to transfer the light from the chassis to the lens, with the light mounted on the chassis.
The CF7 cab is quite large, and a 1" speaker will go in there. The speaker can be mounted facing down, and the upper part of the cab is the speaker box.
Gary,
The 1.5 V bulbs in your unit should be fine. Unless you're planning on adding ditch lights, I wouldn't worry about changing them. Athearn leaves the leads long enough to make it easy to work on the unit without worrying about yanking the bulbs out. There's lots of room in there for a TSU-1000 (that'll plug directly into the board's 9-pin plug), its' capacitor and a good-sized speaker in the cab (as you said).
