Best way to hook too many old consoles to a TV? (sh.itjust.works)

Howdy.

I set up all of my old game consoles for fun, and feel like there must be a better way. I have an NES on the antenna connector (RG6?), about eight consoles on composite (Y/R/W), and four or five on HDMI. I still have my old school Composite switch, but I need more inputs, and it would be nice to be able to use the TV remote instead of getting my old bones up. My TV has two or three HDMI ports but I need a few more.

Do I just need an RF adapter, a bigger Composite switch, and some kind of HDMI switch, or is there another option I'm not thinking of?

Thanks!

haha heck this is where being in the "biz" has its advantages. (home AV)

look into something like a b&k ct600 kit. whichever is the composite/component video Switcher piece.

key digital makes some stuff.
