early 1952, the Webster Chicago company (well known for its wire recorders)
changed its name to Webcor. This “regally” named model

half or quarter-track stereo record/playback, professional type editing
key, record safety lock, automatic shut-off for amplifier and recorder
mechanism, VU meter, monitor volume control, numerical type tape counter,
individual volume controls, “dual gang” bass & treble controls,
