Hi Martha, and welcome.

You can find the service information for model A361 here:

https://philcoradio.com/library/download...20Book.pdf

Unfortunately, this does not include a dial stringing diagram.

The radio chassis is basically the same as the F-1942 auto radio, modified to operate on 110-115 volts AC. However, its service data also does not include a dial stringing guide.

There was a Dial Cord Stringing Guide published by Howard W. Sams & Company in 1947, but it does not include the A361 or the F-1942.

Judging from your location, there are two radio clubs near you - the Mid-America Antique Radio Club in Kansas City, and the Oklahoma Vintage Radio Collectors in Oklahoma City. Perhaps one of these clubs might be able to help? The club in KC has no website but has a Facebook page:

and OKVRC's website is:

Good luck, and sorry I could not help with a dial stringing diagram.

If there is anyone else here who knows this information, please share it in this thread.
