I would say it's upside down on the 29CSX also. The speaker grill side of the cabinet, which you would think should face away from the chair, is the side the dial faces. You would be tuning from the wrong side....

Hard to figure these out. My 38-7CS is a little better. The dial on that one is at least parallel to the chair. The oddity of the chairside models intrigues me. Good thing they take up as much space as a console or I'd be totally addicted...
