My understanding was the sale to ITT happened in spring of 1951. The 325 is a '51 model but that means probably it was on the drawing board in the fall of '50, or earlier. The same chassis (CX-33) is in some '50 model year sets -- the Howard Sams Photofact (112-3) for it is dated 11/50. I think that was safely before ITT got involved. David, please correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't think the ITT influence really became apparent until around 1954, but that's just my personal take. Capehart stuff got really wierd around then, but didn't REALLY suck until the '60s.

David, NICE model 332! My turn to drool. I've seen about ten of them, still way less than I've seen RCA 621TS's or CT-100's. For what it's worth.

jr_tech, great point about the square-corner CRT sets. You don't see them often. I think they're an overlooked breed, too.

pugs5061, if you do tackle this one, people here are friendly for the most part and will help you find the unobtanium. Or enjoy the challenge of finding it yourself. There have been 3 cover plates for the front controls for sale on eBay in the last couple of years, around 15 bucks each as I recall. The knobs are a bit of a challenge, but I've seen a few in "box-o-knobs" auctions on eBay too. The other stuff should be easy. Yoke and tube and then capacitors and resistors. Any set is hard work to do right, this one is 20% harder but not impossible, by any means.
