Well, in theory you don't need a switch at all. I would probably just daisy chain a series of 25 inputs with and one output using diodes on the inputs so that signal doesn't find its way back to other consoles, which may or may not cause problems. But, better safe than sorry. That way you just flip on the console you want and it comes on without having to label 25 switches. Just don't turn on 2 at the same time LOL! |

I don't have materials on hand to make a sample and I'm not in a position to start something like that at the moment (even though I could really use one too), but I could draw a little diagram to better illustrate what I'm thinking of you'd like. |
