Looks like it is a recorder for the old Radio station "cart's-
these were based on the 8 track tape format but with shorter tape loops that allowed advertisements and PSAs to be recorded and stacked up- and then played by the DJ quickly and w/o having to queue, rewind or any other fiddling-
8 track never had a commercially available recorder for home use, and as the 8-track switched between tracks there was some incredible clunky-ness - that they sold as well as they did presages the adoption of MP-3 (low quality with no hope of making it better)...
Happy Listening
