It was taken with an iPhone5 in "pano" mode.
What are you thinking for your remodel? The two most important part for me were having the sets in the area that we spend the most time, and allowing each set to have its own space. I didn't want some dedicated "back room" where everything was hidden away. By having an original framed piece of ephemera above each set it helps to make each one special on its own and give it "shoulder room" to stand out individually. |

We are building a new detached garage. The old attached garage will be finished off to become two rooms -- my workshop and a display space. So I have approximately half of a two-car garage to use for display. I need to figure this space out. They just poured the new garage foundation.

I packed my stereo away in storage and mounted my flatscreen on the wall to free up some space. It only took about a dozen holes drilled in these 140 year old walls to find some studs
I'm using a Google Chromecast to make this "dumb" TV "smart". Much better Now if I could just get rid of those wires |

Now that's quite a center channel speaker
Maybe a piece of wiremold 2300, adhesive-backed, to hide the wires?

Displaying the collection to friends and familiy
Here is the prewar section of my Man's Cave. I do like to have original ephemera an advertising to enhance the sets. I agree with @ VTS 1134 that is is cool to have people over to view the sets, especially old timers who can share their early television experiences. Most people are amazed that there was television before WWII, and that these sets are 75 years old. The strong art deco design also intrigues my guests.

You could install a recessed power outlet (the kind intended for electric wall clocks) fed by some housewire like romex behind the flat screen, and fish the CATV cable and the speaker cords thru the wall, one hole behind the flat screen, and another below near the floor.

Wow some awesome displays and collections! Mine is SO basic I can describe it in very few words... In my living room a Philco Danish Modern is in one corner (birth year set), and in the other corner lives a 621TS on an original 630TS stand with my favorite, a 621TS on the bottom shelf. I've had the same 3 TV collection now for over 2 decades.

I finally got around to building the custom shelving system I had model many months ago. It ended up being based around 6' tall pre-made sides from Menards home improvement center. I cut a third in half to make them 8' tall and added extra shelf supports. I ended up fitting 9 sets in all.
