I know it says 50 watt maximum, but 52 is so very close to 50. It's a pain to go out and find a new converter in China, so I'm was going to ask here before I plug in something and blow it to smithereens.

Probably. Most devices have specifications higher than there advertised values, but realize that it's life expectancty is diminished running at or above 100%.
If the converter is a transformer, going from AC to DC (Like 110 to 12), then you will be fine.
If the converter is a switching power supply going from AC to DC (Like 110 to 12), then you should be fine.
If the converter is a switching supply going from DC to AC (Like 12 to 110), it will work for a while, but with a diminished life, and will fail. I have found these devices are not built very well, and spec'd higher than they should be.

I wouldn't try it. The circuitry involved is designed for those maximum volts and amps and no more.

My guess is that it would work. Check that the converter doesn't overheat
