I sell cut off tank tops with J-valves on them. If you are on facebook marketplace, you will probably find them with a quick search.

See? I have these great ideas, too, but I still don’t get picked to be on my wife’s interior decoration team.
Most of us assume they are from condemned tanks and unserviceable valves... It helps us sleep at night!
The only group cheaper than vintage divers are technical divers. If they really wanted J-valves, I have probably 100 of them sitting in a box at home. $3 each, who wants them?

I'm thinking that the tank top with a valve on it sitting on a shelf captures the main idea that I'm after. I'm trying to visualize how to integrate some kind of bracket to mount the second stages and SPG to. Possibly extensions from the front of the shelf. Possibly some kind of oblong dowel to fit in the 2nd mouthpieces. This probably should be teak, but I'm a bit partial to black walnut.

Might be something here in the pics that might work?

Just curious about what's so special about this reg. I have ever reg I've ever owned, starting with a Calypso, then a few Conshelfs, MR12s, ScubaPros of various flavours. Those all reside in various bins of retired dive crap in my garage, shed, house, cottage. Can't say I've ever considered mounting them. Currently, I have sack full of Apeks regs. Same thing.
Having said that, it was me, I'd figure out a way to connect to a keg of beer and use it for a tap. I appreciate there there may be some challenges with this, but how awesome would it be!

First, “bragging“ is odd in my opinion and for the most part any regulator with hoses attached will just look like a big mess. Without hoses there are only a few designed with enough external character to garner interest, first stages like the SP MK 25 or MK 17 would fit and second stages like a D400 or 109 would catch someone eye but once the tangle of hoses are added this becomes less aesthetically pleasing. You may be surprised at how little non-divers care about this stuff.
