It looks far enough away from the voice coil so doubt any damage was done. It might "buzz" on some notes, but I've seen a lot worse with actual tearing that still functioned--just had the occasional raspy sound--not that you'll expect or get much quality sound from AM monaural anyway..

Have you tried the radio and see if it works. Actually, that's probably a silly question--you've most likely been waiting for the antenna wire. I would be a bit concerned about the capacitors. If still the originals, after 60 years they are probably not in great condition.
