I used to be able to tell if a program was running correctly by the pattern of lights (neon push-indicators) flickering.  Of course these were highly repetitive routines (continuous gravity vector calcs), not like somebody listening to mp3s or running a word processing application.
 

 
 


Looks like an Ampeg.

At the end of every assembler line can be a continuation character that isn't seen except on a printout.  I used to hide Shakespeare quotes in my programs tweaked to use the names of people that may see the printouts.
