A speaker and amp of a reagister.
The Elliott 803b had a speaker on the control panel (at least ours did), 
specifically there so you could "listen" to the machine and "see" what it 
was doing, odd noises meant problems. It did not take long for some bright 
spark to program a few tunes. It could be turned off. Once newer machines 
were installed the Elliott was reduced to playing tunes on visitor days, bit 
of a come down !
