The Ebony Model 60:

An ad that appeared in the June 30th, 1930 Brooklyn Daily Eagle offered this set as a "New and Improved" version offered in Ebony or Walnut.

The July 19, 1930 issue of the El Paso Times, El Paso, Texas offers this set for $59.50, and refers to the set as  "The New Screen-Grid Mello-Tone Radio Receiving Set". The May 15, 1931 issue of the Ithaca Journal, Ithaca, New York offered this set reduced from the 1930 price to $39.75.

The Model 60:

The Model 60 chassis was a success for Jackson Bell. It was produced in many cabinet variations under the Jackson-Bell brand, and in many house branded sets. The set was distributed throughout the United States.

The success of the Model 59 was followed by the Model 60. There are many similarities between these two models. The most obvious difference is the addition of a second knob for regeneration to improve sensitivity and selectivity when necessary. This is an earlier technology that introduces another adjustment.

Jackson-Bell stressed the phrase "Screen Grid, of Course" in marketing Model 60s. The 24A tube is for the detector, not as an R.F. amplifier.
