The Model 62 Art Deco Surise:

The Jackson-Bell Sunrise appears to have only been made available in the Art Deco cabinet style. No cathedral style cabinets are know. It is also referred to as the "Sunburst".

Very few newspaper advertisements for this model have been found to date. Most Ads appeared in magazines in conjunction with other models being marketed at the time. The earliest Ads appeared in late 1930.

This Art Deco cabinet style, with it's Sunrise speaker-grille motif, employing the Model 62 chassis was also used in an Export Model to NZ, badged EAGLE.

The Schematic for this model can be found in the "Jackson-Bell-Model-62_Version_Comparisons_and_Notes" below.

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.
