Jackson-Bell "The Fan" (1932)
(wood tube cathedral radio)

Jackson-Bell "The Fan" (1932)

NEW!"The Fan" is our second recent Jackson-Bell posting. I have written in previous ads that starting in 1926, the whole Bell family worked in the company in various positions, and Herb Bell oversaw the whole company. Mr. Jackson joined up with Bell in 1926. Not much is known about Jackson, but he did invest $5000 into the company. Jackson-Bell produced thousands of "Midget Radios" and was one of the first companies to start superheterodyne production in the Gilfillan factory in Los Angeles. "The Fan" was produced later, possibly towards the end of production in 1933. As far as a model number...I restored and sold a Model 99 here on the Radio Attic in 2023. I'm guessing that "The Fan" was a later production and has a model number from 64 to 96...or possibly 84-89. "The Fan" is an six-tube, AM only TRF set. The radio has push-pull audio through an 8-inch speaker and has plenty of volume. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord, safety fuse, audio input cable and antenna lead were installed. Gary did a fantastic job or stripping the old finish off. He applied ebony and walnut colored toner and ended up with a satin lacquer finish. This gorgeous radio has the original knobs, speaker and chassis. You're not going to find a nicer version anywhere! A wonderful and historic California radio to add to your collection. 16"H x 13"W x 8"D.  $499.00. (1600590)
