As I can recall I repaired a Plant A set, one with four tubes plus a ballast, by using a schematic from a Popular Science or Mechanics Illustrated magazine from the 40s, it did not have a model number that I could find. The schematic was a DIY project for people that wanted to build their own radio but was almost identical to what I found in the Plant A set.
Regards
Arran
