• Notes

• EE: This Jackson-Bell radio model is called "Sunburst" and some call it "Sunrise" for the grille but see also the model "Swan" sometimes referred to as model 62 "Peacock" with the same chassis and similar cabinet except the grille.

  Stein "Cathedral & Tombstone Radios" erroneously shows a picture of model "62".
