Hi Doug,
There are a lot of radios out there with similar tube line ups, so that doesn't give us enough to go on. That is the bad news.
The good news is that you can use many schematics to guide you on this. There were only just a few ways to make a radio back then. Zenith 6S229 comes to mind. It has a 5Y3G for the 80, 6F6 for the 42, 6K7G for the 6D6 and 6A8G for the 6A7. Those tubes are identical except for different basing.

All the Best,

Bill Grimm

Hi Carl,

Someone has been working on that since I last used it.

Best regards,

Sir Doug. . .

In respect of your unit being a three band unit, along with it using the mentioned tubes given.

How's about seeing if the Allied Radio / Knight or Continental radio Z2 chassis will be close enough to work with, in your using of that units schematic.
