Well,thanks for the info :thmbsp:
Wow
200? Wow! I'm a noob at this, always been an audiophile, but just now getting into vintage stuff, I can see how that can happen! I finding hunting for this stuff so much fun!
I have an RCA Victor 1951 console I'm picking up Sunday. It's is absolutely beautiful wood, not sure about the electronics, but who cares, the hard part is the condition.
I'm curious about the amp that's in it. 3 or 4 speakers, I'm guessing it's in stereo?? I haven't been able to find any info on it, but once it's apart I will know.

No stereo in the early 1950's. It's a 2 track mono machine, but it does play both sides without flipping the reels. Unless you mean the RCA - That certainly won't be stereo.

what's that little akai integrated amp? (least that's what it looks like)
sry if it was already listed
Stereo Webcor
Gotcha. Yes, I meant the Webcor, it's actually has 3 speakers. One on each end and one smaller (tweeter) in the front. What would that be characterized as?
The RCA Victor is self explanatory, it's only got one speaker.
..but it's a BIG speaker, looked to be 15" but I didn't look very close as it was buried in a corner of a storage container, I could only see it from the front, that's why I have to wait til Sunday to pick her up.

That Webcor came in various cabinets - a suitcase style, the one you have in faux wood, and a larger one with a drawer. I've seen the recorder itself in maroon like yours and in black.
I don't know if there's a proper word for the configuration other than multiple drivers (speakers.) It's certainly mono. Just has more drivers to sound better.
There should be a cover over the heads too.
The Webcor wouldn't be considered hi-fi, but it's a very nice sounding recorder for that time period. They are tanks and not bad to look at.

If you mean the little Akai, that's a tape deck selector.
