Hi there here is my great old harp radio this thing has been in a box until about a week ago I decided to get it out of its safe storage and let people see it. Not really a big radio buff just love the look and the style. Still works tubes take a few to warm up but then we are good to go. Hope someone has some input or associates with it thanks. Don't throw anything out or my kids won't be able to find treasures like this someday to!!!:)

Dewald A501 - Circa 1946
Cool thanks I thought it was the 30's, is it a desirable item?
Circa 1938-1946. - Probably desirable to a radio collector. There were different cabinet colors. You can check radioattic archives under the Dewald name and also check radiomuseum which has a nice archive.
Awesome thanks!
