Abstract
We investigate a charge magnetic-dipole model originally suggested by Barut to qualitatively explain the lepton mass spectrum. In contrast to the encouraging results he finds using Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization, we find that successive energy levels do not increase rapidly enough to account for the observed lepton masses. None of the bound states are stable, and the states with lowest energies have unacceptably large angular moments.
