I went cheap. I went to the office and found that we had a bunch of serial cables and parallel cables the run from the motherboard to the back (with all 24 pins going through). I then connected two serial to my mk64 and then make special connection to the buttons on the cab itself that doesn't change (coins, starts, pause, unthroddle, ect).
Then each control panel has one or two parallel 24 pin connectors coming off it.
It sounded like it was going to be super easy to swap, but I didn't make the slack enough so you have to have the control panel close. The fit tight enought that you dont need to do any more and thy have never come apart.
not the best way to do it in my mind, but I would do it again.
