Hi Kevin,
It looks like it might be a 41-260 (1941 model), but let's see what Ron says.
One word of caution. A radio of this vintage should have it's filter capacitors and paper capacitors replaced for safety's sake. Also, with this radio being a 1941 model, there's a pretty good chance it contains rubber insulated wire, which is notorious for cracking and exposing the bare wire. This can also be hazardous. About 3/4 of the rubber coated wiring I find in pre-WWII radios needs re-sleeved or replaced. It can be a long task, but in the end it's worth it.
That being said, here's a schematic (if it is indeed a 41-260). http://www.nostalgiaair.org/Resources/412/M0013412.htm
Good luck!
Tom
