To All Responders ...
I have a CD player on hand, but its stereo speakers are way too big for use with the Lionel Bandstand. So I ordered two small Digitrax speakers generally intended for installation within a loco body shell. When they arrive, I'll hook them up to the CD player which I'll hide underneath the Bandstand (directly below the platform) and place the small speakers inside the Bandstand as "external speakers." I hope that will work and play Christmas music (in the style of Stan Kenton) loud enough to be heard by holiday visitors to my layout.
