...A circuit board!

The on-board mono speaker is the sole source of the Studio II's sound effects.

Wanna turn down the sound? Too bad -- there's no volume control.

The extremely large traces and widespread coverage of solder are characteristic of 1970s era electronics; big chips required big boards and a lack of environmental restrictions resulted in boards bathed in lead.
