I was going to suggest you bundle it into the house sale because this stuff has such a steep depreciation. Then I went to your page and noticed it was a film based theater. Uh, never mind.
Let's see if this comes out okay... Our home theater over the Holidays (Dish Yule Log channel via the Hopper 3)
The entertainment center was designed and built by my Father-in-Law with some input from my wife and me (my wife's input was basically "make sure it's wide enough to fit a bigger TV!") If I had known that 65" sets would be coming down in price as much as they have, I would have had the center section made about 5"-6" wider. Theoretically, a 60" bezel-less screen would just fit, but that's how it goes...

We moved into a much smaller home but very cozy easy to heat and cool especially with winters in Nebraska. Even downsized home studio to Denon AVR-X2300W, Klipsch RP-160M, Klipsch RP-450C, Klipsch R-14S, klipsch Sub along with a couple Sony 4K Tvs. The 55" is monitor 
Did you make the screen from scratch, or is it a kit? Aspect ratio?
Would love to see a photo of it in use. Nice setup!

I’m another one who loves the old stuff. The tech, the decor, the cars, the movies/shows/music… And how easy it is to access it today, recently got fiber internet out here in the sticks.
50” Hitachi CRT RPTV. And that’s all my DVDs. Got a dresser and boxes full of VHS in the basement.
My living room setup is split to the bedroom, and a remote repeater lets me control it all from the bedroom if I want.
