Sorry, but you will have to supply more information and several pictures if you wish to receive any useful information about this item.
Using only the information provided - here is what turns up when trying to do research:
eBay for sale listings:
www.ebay.com/.../bn_7022179745

eBay sold listings:
www.ebay.com/.../i.html?_nkw=webcor&rt=nc&_dcat=48649...

Is any of this information useful to answering your question? You may be able to find your stereo in these listings but I have no idea what to look for.

I know it can be difficult to know what information is needed when asking for help with an item but here are some questions that need to be answered for anyone to provide useful information:
Pictures - full front view of item, top view of item (open & closed), back of item showing all labels/tags/writing.
Condition: overall condition of cabinet - inside and outside.
Does it work? Does it sound great or? Does it need work/parts?
Any information on the history of your item?
Area - very important if this is a large/heavy item as your area will dictate final value if you have to sell it as 'local pick up only'.
Areas are entirely different in all parts of the US and yours may be 'into' this type of item or do they go for free on curbside.

Webcor seems to be a well liked name so please provide more information so someone can help you find a value.

Webster-Chicago Corporation of Chicago, Illinois, also later known as Webcor, was a leader in the manufacture of electronics from 1914 to the late 1960s. The Webster Company operated in the same time as the Racine WI based Webster Electrical Co. They were referred to as Webster (Chicago) and Webster (Racine) respectively. The company name was officially changed from Webster-Chicago to Webcor Inc. in 1956. Webcor stuff tends to be pretty well built.

Unfortunately, you have not added photos of your console, did not specify the model. Most likely you have a model 1450 or its modifications. Here is an advertisement for this model from 1963 (see attached screenshot): thecatholicnewsarchive.org/?a=d&d=ca19631003-01.2.110.2&e=-------en... This model has the same name as your Webcor President Stereo Hi-Fi (high fidelity), or like this www.flickr.com/.../ So you don't have a console.

The price of course depends on the condition of the player. Webcor President 60's in working order was sold for $ 75, if you have a Webcor President portable model EP1150-1 released in 1960 www.radiomuseum.org/.../webster_webcor_president_1150.html, then the price is $ 135 www.shoppok.com/.../a,49,112408,Vintage-Webcor-President...

We'll need more information or a picture please. On ebay there is a nice mid-century modern console asking $450 US but there's also a table top model for "parts only" asking $50.

If it comes in a wooden cabinet, it is in the $225 range.
