...driven by a single enormous vacuum tube!!! It was in a scene where the kids were rehearsing for the Yule ballroom dance. I'm not sure if it was an actual prop on the set or just a computer-generated image; it didn't quite look like a real transmitting tube.

Funny how the wizards can use Muggle technology if it's old enough (e.g. steam locomotives).

The Victrola was a style of phonograph sold by Victor Talking Machines that hid the horn. From the tone arm of a Victrola, the sound went down; the horn opening of a Victrola was below the turntable, often behind a grill.

  It looked like a much larger version of the horn that the dog is listening to in the old "his master's voice" trademark.
  
  Since I assume there's no "ekeltricity" in Hogwarts, the tube must have been heated and biased by magic...I wonder which spell?
