Hi! I recently acquired a Monarch radio from the late 1920's or early 1930's, but am having trouble identifying it and must defer to the knowledgeable people on this excellent site. I hope to get a schematic so I can restore it. Unfortunately, there are no identifying marks on it that I can see, save for one number stamped on a large transformer. Please follow this link to see photographs of it:

Looking at the third photograph from the bottom, one can just see this large transformer on the left, behind the two tubes. It is stamped: 3752-D. Just next to it on the right is a large square can, soldered to the chassis, which I presume is filled with filter caps. The chassis appears to be nickel plated. The tube lineup is as follows, as viewed from left to right in the third last photo:

Marked: 280 245 245 227 224 224 224 224
Installed: 80 45 - 56 24A 24A 24A 24A

Any help is most sincerely appreciated!

was the chassis perhaps made by another manufacturer...? I looked through the schematics, but it either isn't present or I overlooked something. Any help in identifying this radio is greatly appreciated!!

Many radios of the nineteen thirties were made by the detrola radio corp of detroit Michigan the D in the model # may reflect that it was made by detrola or DRC corp Detrola was the largest manufacturer of radios in the USA in 1937

thanks for your attention, Scott! Would I be correct in presuming that the number stamped on the transformer casing indicates the part number of that particular component, rather than the model of the actual radio? It has been my (limited) experience that numbers stamped on discreet components (like transformers, coil cans, etc.) don't match the model number in any way, but are rather catalog part numbers. Still, I'll take any lead I can get--I really want to get the Monarch running again!

If you "Google" Monarch Radio, you will find several references that may be of help. There are three companies I found that could be involved. Steinite, Warwick, and King Manufacturing Corp. Check out King's Model 101 Monarch schematic. It might get you at least in the ballpark.
Good luck
