If you look at the picture of the ad I took, it explains it better than I can. With that being said, the cabinet itself shows minor signs of age and wear: some very light surface scratches and dinks & dents (mainly around the edges). The lyre grill on the front and the decorative grill on the back are solid. The cone of the speaker has no holes, tears or rips that I can see without physically tearing this apart. The light spot you see in the picture of the front looks like a discoloration of the cone. It does not go through to the back side and it is not a hole. It isn’t as obvious in person. It is the flash of the camera that really makes it more pronounced. It also could be something that was dripped on it. The power cord shows minor wear to the outer cloth covering, has no bare wires showing and has both end tips present and securely attached. I tested this with a 9 volt battery and got the familiar clicking sound so the driver is good (works). 13″ wide, 4 1/2″ deep and 14 tall. I don’t claim to be an expert on these so PLEASE review the photos as they supercede the description. If you need more close-ups we will be happy to oblige. Thank you for your interest!

Farm fresh from a local sale is this 1938 dewald a501 catalin tube radio in the harp / lyre style. I’ve done nothing at all to it, didn’t even dust it off.. Needs a thorough cleaning and polishing. Missing the curved glass dial cover. The case is free of cracks or damage and should clean up nicely. Looking closely at my pictures you may see what looks like a crack on the right right front face just below where the glass dial cover was, it was just a hair and i wiped it off after the pictures were taken. The power cord is in very bad shape so no way to test it. I did take a peek inside and everything appears untouched but very, very dusty. It has the original pinwheel knobs. A very desirable radio to the right person who is into restoring these antique marvels.The item “Vintage Art Deco DeWald Model A501 Catalin tube radio harp lyre” is in sale since Wednesday, May 13, 2015.
