Happ trackball to two PCBs. How?

I know it would be easiest, but A manual switch just won't suit my needs. I have a 6 way JAMMA switcher that is controlled by a rf remote switch, and using a relay, or automatic method would be best.
I'm trying to keep the cabinet looking as stock and unmodified/automatic as possible, and a manual switch just blows that to hell.
I haven't had time to look into the electronics supplier as of yet, but I'll keep you updated to what I find.

Still nothing on this issue. The guy at the electronics store had nothing to offer. Any suggestions as to how I might pull this off?

I think you can just leave the power and ground wires where they are (for powering the ball) and then use a 4PDT relay to switch between the two boards. 4PDT is probably a lot easier to find than 6PDT.

Bravo911:
They only have 24v 4PDT relays... I'll have to source one out. Now, should I chain the ground to both boards? Thanks for the point in the right direction!

BTW I would recommend that whichever one you use most often be connected to the normally closed terminals on your relay.  Even if a relay is intended for continuous use I prefer to have the coils energized as infrequently as possible.  Saves a little energy too.   :lol
