E.T.'s phone B.O.M.

off hand, does anyone know what components went into building E.T.'s phone? And can you make a guess at the intended function of each?

I’m assuming the TI “speak and spell” DSP was hacked to handle the 1’s and zero’s involved in intergalactic comm.

I’m more interested in the analog front end. The dish looking thing probably means it’s designed for TX&RX.
