The Webster Chicago Model 80-1 is a really rare wire recorder. Manufactured in the late 1940s, this system was created during an experimental era of sound recording. Wire recorders were used right before magnetic tape reels became the industry standard; these recorders used magnetized steel wire to record and play back music and dictation. Pretty cool, right? This system currently has issues, so whether you're looking for a unique repair project or just want to add an incredible conversation starter to your vintage collection, this wire recorder is a great find!
