The televisions have been off display for quite a while - there are about 60 in the collection, ranging from early Jenkins, Acme and a Farnsworth 651A (I think - I'm home and can't check the number) to experimental mechanical and CRT sets from RCA, as well as a number of great projection and mirror-in-lid sets. We really haven't gotten to much newer stuff - it's all stored in a warehouse and not visible to the public. The hope in documenting the collection is to maybe get an exhibit up but certainly to get things online at some point. Sadly, this is all very expensive and time consuming. We "process" - record, update records, photograph, research, clean and "package" for safe storage - about 2 sets per day. So it's not a place to see televisions yet.
Glad you liked the Dymaxion house - it's pretty cool. My favorite exhibit is watching the Corliss steam engine run. Thanks for your help!
