Loesers's Department Store in Brooklyn, New York carried a "House-Brand" radio made by Jackson Bell. There are 10 known display ads showing this same cabinet style as the one discovered by Richard Gray on eBay in 1992. That auction claimed the featured radio to be a Remler "Minuette". All of the references available feature an entirely different cabinet style and technology for the Remler Minuette. While none of the Loeser's Ads feature a name plate in the artwork, and none of them refer to the radio as a "Minuette", most of the ads directly credit Jackson-Bell as the manufacturer .

The one found on eBay differs slightly from the one in the Loesers ads. The artwork in the ads show an additional decorative routing, and do not feature any name plate. It is always a possiblity that Jackson-Bell sold a similar radio to a different outlet with slight modifications, but to date, none have been found.

Any additional information on this model would be greatly appreciated. We would gladly credit the submitter for the material provided.

The Model 60s:

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.
