According to my books:
Capehart 320:
Open-Face Console
Mahogany Blonde cabinet
CX33 chassis type
C289 chassis number
16RP4 CRT
Electromagnetic focus
8-inch speaker
Turret 20mc tuner
Model name: "Spinet"
Year: 1950

DuMont may have placed some Capehart CX-33s in some of their cabinets, but you have a Capehart cabinet and a Capehart Chassis. Nothing DuMont about it IMHO.

Just curious, I have a Sams 112-3 in front of me, I don't see the reference to DuMont. Where is it?

Somewhere on your chassis you'll see printed CX33-"n", where "n" is a 1 thru 5. There were 5 production runs, with subtle variations. Sams 112-3 is sort of a conglomeration of all 5 and may or may not be exactly consistent with your set. So don't take it completely as gospel.

There's a 320 like yours in the Philo T Farnsworth museum in Indiana. That's the only other one I've seen. I'm very new to this forum though, and I've seen more Capeharts here in the last month than anywhere else (outside of the museum). I'm really hoping to find a round-screen Capehart, like the 334, at some point. Anyone out there know of one?

Keep us up to date on what you do with yours. Thanks!
