Hi,
Does it look like the unit in the schematic on:
http://ww3.nostalgiaair.org/schematics/BRC/_BRC_5-4.gif ?

If not, you may not be able to find the schematic without a tube lineup. Even then it may have been a specialty radio of that company- which did not produce enough radios to warrant much attention.

You might also consider looking at McMurdo Silver, being both a kit and radio manufacturer, or one of the others contemporary to that era, National, Knight, etc. One of those kits may have been the basis for your radio- with enough differences to not infringe on any patents.

: I found this reciever in Raymond Moore's book,communications receivers on pages 80-81. It was made only one year in 1934 by the McCulla Mfg Co,formerly National Pfanstiehl Radio Corp. Tnx to all who answered my reply.
