keiser31 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Anyone know what a "Motorola Model 501" radio fits? It has cloth on the front and a vertical dash control. Sorry, I have no photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 That is not the one. I think the one my buddy has is 1940's. I am getting photos sent to me that I will post here. I guess that if I had been thinking right, I would have posted this in the "what is it" forum. D'oh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleek Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 This is a pure guess. I think it may be an aftermarket setup. The speaker case looks to have holes for a mounting bracket, the knobs seem to be able to position in various configurations, and with diferent face plate surrounds it might have been able to fit various cars with verticle dials such as late 40's Dodge, and early 50's Chevy, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Commodore Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 A Motorola 501 radio is an aftermarket radio designed to be installed in any car with the appropriate Motorola control head. I say the value is in the $50 to $100 range. Since it is not a rare OEM radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
