Bob: I believe the 325V59 had a 10 inch crown radius. But now you have me thinking as the 325C58, for example, has a 7.25" crown radius.

Think you are correct, Peter, about the 10 inch radius on the 325 V.

According to RIC's spec sheet on the model, the 325V59 has a 12" crown radius.

Kris: Is this the same for the 325V63?

FWIW, I show 10" crowns on the v59 and v63. There's apparently some question about whether or not V81 (Lennon's) had a 12" or 10" radius, though the C58 is made with a 7.25" radius.

Bill: I felt the 10" radius was right. Time for more research.
