Pioneer DS-35F, DS-40F, or DS-55F System Selector alternatives?

So I'd love to hook up all my receivers to one central hub and 1-2 sets of speakers. I think the ideal situation would be finding a Pioneer DS-35F, DS-40F, or DS-55F... but they're hard to find. (If someone has one they'd be willing to part with, even without the junction box, let me know.) I've been looking for ages now and at this point would love some alternative options.

I believe Technics made system selectors as well, models 102 and 510. Yamaha also made some. I'm not looking for anything fancy but I would love to keep things vintage 70s.

In general, I'd be wanting to hook up 1-2 speakers to 1-2 turntables and to 4-5 receivers. Any advice?

Ah, if anyone finds this I ended up stumbling across a Toshiba System Selector Model 80101, which seems nearly identical to some Sansui JS-200 system selectors that have been posted on AudioKarma in the past. It has 10 speaker inputs and 10 amps inputs, as well as a row of inputs along the bottom. In general it seems like most vintage system selectors were sold under several different names, or had minor variations between different brands. Makes sense for a niche item that was mostly sold to distributors.

This one is coming from Australia and has been tested. Hope to hook up my receiver collection to it. Figured I should treat myself for my 40th birthday coming up soon.

 
Not sure if this is still relevant but I have 2 DS55-F I have been waiting to restore. No counters or speaker junction box. I would be willing to part with one. Let me know if there is interest.
