Model 62 - Cathedral Swan:

While Jackson-Bell utilized a series of three chassis for the Model 62, the Swan cabinet styles were limited to two table version (Art Deco and Cathedral). The Lowboy console has never been seen, nor have any display ads for this offering ever been located.

Today's collector of Los Angeles radios will find that the Model 62 Swan Cathedral is a commonly encountered Jackson-bell Model 62.

Later model 62s would use one or more of the other two chassis series, with differing layouts.‍

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.
