The Model 62s

The Jackson-Bell model 62 was a remarkable achievement. A small chassis with excellent performance, housed in a myriad of patented cabinet styles.

The Model 62 is both sensitive and selective across the entire broadcast band. This is possible because of three stages of R.F. amplification, with “Constant Gain”. The volume is sufficient to fill a room. The tone control, and tone quality is impressive for a small radio.

Jackson-Bell utilized a series of three chassis versions for the Model 62.

The cabinet design has two basic patented variations: “Art Deco”, with sloped sides, and sloped top; “Cathedral” with rounded sides and top. The round grilles are interchangeable. This radio appears with many brands and styling details throughout the United States, and beyond.
