Connect 2 Games to One CP? Has anyone ever done this?

This is just a concept Idea, I don't plan on actually doing it.

My idea is, if you had a Playchoice 10 Dual Screen or a Punch Out!! . Refit it so the bottom monitor has like a SM PC-10. Then Put something else to the Top Monitor. However your left with the issue of getting both hooked up to the control pannel.

My idea was a switch. Two ways to go about it, I assume.

The first would be to hack the harness, connect them to toggle switch. Install them under the CP.

The other idea is to make a Switcher like a 6 in 1 Jamma Switcher.

What are your guys thoughts?
 
My thoughts..
- Use 2 control panels one for each game. Seems easier to do. U could do what u want but alot of daisy chaining of wiring will need to be done. Seems like more of a headache to me than its worth.
Or
-buy 2 separate machines. Just my 2 cents. Wont look like a franken panel.

Or similar 12v coil relays. Run all the wires to the cp through the relays. Put a 12v line to a selector switch, with a single no contact. Wire it to a1 of the relays, Wire the power supply gnd to a2.

Of course a pcb mount relay would suit better, but youd be doing a small breadboard to do the same thing. Cheaper parts, more labor. Your call.
