The Model 60 Fleur-De-Lis Cathedral

This Model 60 cathedral with the Fleur-De-Lis speaker grille variant, is the only example we have ever seen. The Fleur-De-Lis speaker grille motif is commonly seen in the Art Deco cabinet version of Jackson Bells Model 62 chassis.

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.
