Are you talking about something like this (but just using it the other way around)??

Connecting the pair of speakers to the main input of the device, and the 2 receivers to the A and B outputs? Will that work?

The only danger is that if you push A & B buttons together, it will fry your receiver since this device can simultaneously activate them all.

What about this one? Would this be better??
I'll just utilize the audio section: using the 2 inputs for my 2 receivers, and the one output for my speaker (using all RCA plugs).
What you think?

  I do not think either of your examples would work.
  
  Examples?

  If I may ask, what exactly are you wanting to accomplish using two receivers?

    You are AWESOME! That is it! Thank you very much!
    
    You see, my pair of speakers is in my den which is not my main room (where my A/V components & HDTV are located). In the main room is my Pioneer VSX49TX receiver which I am using there for 5.1 channels. That receiver has a multiroom function wherein you can operate two sources simultaneously. So since I also have a TV in my den, I decided to use that feature for the kids to watch their programs there while the adults watch theirs in the main room (utilizing the receiver for a more lifelike sound).
    
    But just recently, I've also acquired a vintage Sansui G-7700 receiver. I've always coveted that receiver but never got the chance to get it. So when the opportunity came, I jumped on it right away. Now, I want to use it for my den just for Hi Fi music (since it's not an A/V receiver). I'm also getting a Dual 1229Q turntable to go with it.

      Sadly, the Ronco Dual Source Selector Switchbox is now discontinued.
      So I found this NX-AB2 Dual Source Selector Switch instead which will work just as good. And it's only $29.99 at Radio Shack.

        Glad you found something that will work for you.....
        
        Make sure you double check how you have it wired before you turn on your equipment.
