I put one BK2 in my PacMan upright, and have 3 control panels to swap between depending on which type of game(s) I want to play. One is the original CP, a second is an extra original PM panel I had laying around that I installed an 8-way joystick in, and the 3rd is an old Midway Jump Shot CP I picked up years ago and have now populated with two 8 way joysticks so I can play games that use 2 sticks (such as Rescue which I love 
) .
If you've never heard of Jump Shot, it was a conversion kit released by Midway for PacMan uprights that was a basketball game and had two joysticks so 2 could play at the same time. I can't say that I have ever seen this game in the wild to this day...but the CP I picked up also came with the original ROMs even though I'm pretty sure they are available online anyway. In any case, the CP was set up to easily accept two new sticks and 2 buttons.
Overall, the 3 CPs let me play the majority of the horizontal games pretty well with the obvious exception of any game that uses a trackball or a spinner.
My 2nd BK2 is in my Bosconian cabaret. I installed an extra wire to the 1 player button so I can use it for games that have a second button (like Elevator Action for jumping or Timber for cutting in one of the directions).
