This is a 1926 Radio, Brunswick used the Radiola (RCA) Radio Chassis, with their own cabinets. I believe it used a Radiola 28 Battery operated receiver, it would have been an 8 tube unit. There was an AC version of this radio chassis with a 4 tube subchassis providing power and power amplification. Since I can't find an exact match on the AR-1038 model number this is all based on an educated guess knowing the product line at that time. If this information sounds correct you can find the service information online at:

Look under the Radiola 28 heading.
