OVERVIEW
General Information:

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.

Comments:

The model 60 is considered an improved version of the model 59. The Art Deco cabinet design used in the model 59 was also used with the Model 60.
