| Switch for player 1/player 3 |

I am in the process of getting everything together for my swappable panel. The side panels are always player 1 & 2, but I want the option to have the joystick in the center panel be player 1 or player 3. That way, if it's a one player game, a player can stand in the center as intended instead of off to the side. I've tried to think of many ways to compensate for this on the fly and the only thing I can come up with is an 8PDT switch, but they are incredibly hard to find. Do any of you have any ideas how to accomplish this without being too complex? |

yes. use two 4PDT relays, and one spst toggle switch to turn them on and off. |

Gut an older manual switch printer A/B switch box. IIRC they're 25 pin ports and most, if not all, are comprised of a 25PDT rotary switch. Ugly as hell on the inside, but they functional. I spot them once in a while at flea markets and thrift stores. Don't buy them at a computer store, they're overpriced for their age. |

Thanks for the input. I'll see which of these will work better for me. |

Ok... Sorry for my lack of knowledge regarding this topic... I know the basic idea of how relays work, but I'm not sure which one to get. I'd like to get relays which run of either 5vdc or 12vdc. If I search digikey, there's coil voltage - is that the 5vdc or 12vdc or is that something else. |
