Philco 29-124 Chairside
#25

Thanks Steve!  I don't quite get why there are supposedly 3500 of these made, yet so few are in collections.  I think the 29CSX is a pinnacle radio, and I hope to find one some day.

I'm hoping to get a 630CSX in trade (chickens hatching; quite sure it's going to happen).  Although it's in fair condition at best, I'm pretty excited about it.  But I'm also confused how it's supposed to be used.

Was the user out of his chair during tuning?  Or was the speaker pointed at the chair when playing?  If anybody can explain which direction the speaker is supposed to point, and which side the radio is supposed to be tuned from, please chime in.  It really does seem like the dial is upside down!
