Rare Webster Ekotape Rack-Mount Reel-to-Reel Recorder-Reproducer

Up for sale here is this vintage Webster Electric Ekotape Recorder-Reproducer rack-mount reel-to-reel, probably from the 1950s and Made in USA. I couldn't find any information about this on the net. The motor is marked Bodine NCH-34. This came with a tube preamplifier, which I have listed separately. This is in fairly good condition but does have moderate wear and is missing the tubes. It has a few scratches on the face, unfortunately, and on the back one of the switches is physically broken (see the last two pics). The build quality on this looks incredible.
This is completely untested--it is pretty old, and I'm not sure exactly how to hook it up, so I will leave that up to the buyer. This is sold as non-working, for repair. It will need rebuilding before it is ready to use. This will be an incredible piece once it is rebuilt. Please see my pictures for details.
US shipping and handling is $50, and international is $200. If you have any questions, please ask.
I have more tube gear and other vintage electronics listed--feel free to take a look!
