Can I get this radio to play again? 1937 - 80c

Hi,
in my 1937 Roadmaster Convertible there is an original radio. An extra speaker (round and pretty bulky) is mounted underneath the dashboard. It doesn´t give a squeak, but looks in pretty ok shape. I really would like to get it back to working condition.
Does anyone know where I can get schematics and values?
Any hint or help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

I have found schematics in the Buick shop manual for my cars. Also, do a search on eBay as I have found them there also.
Good Luck.

Chris,
I have the names of a couple of Los Angeles area shops that repair vintage tube type auto radios. Do you live on the West Coast?

Dear Grandpa,
thanks for your message. I am actually living in Germany, so bringing the radio over to California might be the very last resort.
As of now, I am still hoping to get some info about the schematics.
Chris

Hi Chris,
if you send me a PM I think I can be of some help. I have been messing around these late 30:s Bucks for the last 35 years so I might have some information to give you regarding the radio schematics.
