You can use ANY double pole double throw relay that you happen to get your hands on. There are many different coil voltages to choose from (I went with 12v) when it comes to relays. I linked you to a drawing I did in one of your other threads that was pretty much a schematic to help visualize the relay and basic wiring of the important components. 



In the drawing you can see with no power applied to the relay coil everything is set for Golden Tee. Apply power to coil to switch over to silver strike wiring. Obviously this isn't specific to your set up at all. But it shows the basic functions that would need to be switched. I know nothing of the type of wiring that the 2 games you have has. It's up to you to identify where and how to start hacking the wiring to isolate and switch power, video, sound and control from the 2 sources.



good day.

Thanks so much for chiming in chopper. The video and audio I can switch with the kvm. Its the trackball and buttons im trying to figure out.

I wonder if there is a latching time delayed relay as well.

Yeah, I'd much rather use latching as well. But what is the amp draw of a basic relay? I'm guessing it would depend on the relay type, but is there an average number as an idea?

The altronix 6062 is a great little time delay relay that you can set to activate after a time delay or to reset after the time delay.
They're not super cheap as relays go though.
Any dpdt relay can be wired for latching.

I had a candy crane for a customer that had board issues causing the crane to release at different times.
  A few latching relays and some other bits and pieces, it's now more reliable than it was ever was.
