Here is the skinny: Beverly Superheterodyne (faceplate) model 2088 (from a sticker inside) about 1933 I would say (inferred from the last patent) console, highboy style, contains U-280, NU-56L, 46, 58, 10 tubes in all. There is a number on the chassis I do not know if it is a serial number or chassis number, A1205867.
I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

::Help! I am a first time antique radio collector and my first is a real hard one. I need schematics but I do not know the manufacturer. I have a few friends that are avid but they cannot find this one. A real challenger I suspect.

Someone else told me it might be a "store brand" under the manufacturing company Warwick. May I ask where you found this out. I need the schematic.
:I believe the Manufacturer was Warwick Mfg. out of Chicago.

If no one on this site can provide you with a schematic contact Dave at Just Radios and give him all the info you have -tube nos., no. of tubes, etc.. He can probably come up with your schematic. His prices are very reasonable.
Thanks I will give him a try. It is almost like this radio never existed!
::Oh and Bill any idea what model it crosses to?

As Bill stated Beverly was one name associated with Warwick and it's listed in the Manufacturer's Trade Name Directory from the forties.

You mentioned four tube types in your chassis. A list of how many of each might help in finding a schematic that matches yours under Warwick, their associated brands or others.
I read somewhere else that there might be a connection with the U.S Radio & Television Corp. Here's a schematic from the early thirties using some of the tubes you listed.

Excellent news! The chassis is virtually the same but I see some differences on the schematic. But it is something to go on. Thanks a million.

Sorry I was out of town yesterday, I only know this from a Beverly Radio I had refurbished that had a paper tag inside showing Warwick as the maker. I also am sorry but I do not know how to relate your number to warwick's number.

The schematic posted here was very close. Close enough that I started to do a better buzz out of my chassis. It all started to make a little sense to me. What I used to know, which was minimal, came flooding back. Then I started looking for myself (always best) in Riders. It just seemed to me unacceptable that my model did not exist in such an exhaustive work.
Now I must say brand name, trade name, manufacturer, model etc. are just a bit confusing, and to some extent still somewhat difficult for me to understand but I must think back then not today. My radio is a Beverly, model 2088, but as I am learning it is a store brand name. The closest thing is a US Radio chassis. Doing the research it seems that all of these companies were somewhat interdependent. US Radios made radios for Airline. Airline was later called Warwick (I think) and US Radio built the same radio for many other companies and the basic design can be found in Montgomery Ward models and trade names, and a few others. So the best I can tell, my radio was built, maybe even designed by US Radios for Airline, later Warwick, and offered for sale, probably at Macy's under the store name Beverly. Piece of cake, huh.
But it was good learning experience anyway. And now that I have a reasonable schematic I feel better. I really wanted it for the theory more or less. I figure I could eventually fix every broken component one at a time if need be with a meter by hand.
Thanks again.
