Fortunately, I have a large enough house that I can display pretty much all of my sets without it getting too crowded or look like a museum or TV store. I still work full time, so I don't have a lot of time to do the necessary electrical restorations yet (I do get to retire in a few more years). When I get a set, my short term goal is preservation and display. In my shop (garage), I clean up the inside and outside, do some minor cabinet restoration if needed, check the CRT, do a quick, careful electrical check to determine the operating condition of the set, and then bring it into the house for display. Once I retire, I plan to start on the electrical restorations.
