Video Game Selector for AV cables
TyrannicalFascist:
Wiggy, I totally agree with you about Radio Shack - I've bought several pieces of electronics from them that flat out didn't work. That being said, I do have that av selector and it's a nice exception. I couldn't find any other good selectors locally on short notice, so I went with that, and it's actually worked just fine for nearly a year now.

I have a black version of this thing: http://www.tori.fi/uusimaa/Joytech_AV_Control_Center_RGB_Scart_kytkin_3202000.htm
Picked it up for $40, absolutely love it.

5 Ps1s? I can believe it. I've probably ran across more broken, worn out, or just plain not working as well as they should Ps1s than any other console ever.

Well, the parts that do wear the most on cart-based systems are the ones that get touched. The cartridge ports on pretty much every cart system are the first to go, and the input/output ports are often next (since things are often plugged and unplugged many times over the life of the console). The power switch on the SNES is about as hearty as they come. I've got one around here somewhere. I'll have to snap a pic of it. It's about as beefy as an AC power switch :o
The 1001 PS1s ALL wore out at some point. The worm gear on the CD drive was made of some plastic that was too soft for the purpose. It wears out, and the drive can no longer move. You can always tell when that's the problem because you could turn the system on its side or upside-down and it would work because the weight from the drive was placed on a non-worn area of the gear.
I haven't seen a working 1001 with an OEM drive working in well over 10 years. I went through 3 of those. I damn near had the Sony customer service memorized by the time they finally sent me a 5000 series.
Dr.Agon:
you could always build your own box, prices should be pretty cheap, and if anything goes wrong with it youd know how to fix it!,
this is what id have to do, since no one box would handle 25 inputs!

So you're gonna build a 25 position switch?
