Paul;
I have a Fada 175A, and I could not find a factory diagram for it either, but I found one that someone had made by tracing out the wiring in the set, in my case it was a 1924 model. One way you can often tell is that 1924-25 and earlier sets will have UV bayonet style sockets, but the 1925-26 and newer models will have UX style four pin style.
The 192A was also known as the "Neutrolette", which I think was intended to be an economy model, unlike the Fada 175A there is a diagram in either the first Riders volume, or in one of the Gernsback books, it's a 1925 model. Five will get you ten that one or both of the audio interstage transformers are open circuit, my 175A still has the originals, one is good but the other is open circuit on one winding. Here is a site that has some of Gernsback;s books posted, as well as lots of early radio books and magazines, if you want to look:
