Multiple turntables

To those of you who have and use multiple turntables, how do you hook them to your system and what sort of stand or support do you use. I use different phono preamps running into an integrated amp, so each input is a different turntable/arm/cartridge combo. Others may use phono preamps that accept more than one turntable input. However, mounting multiple turntables have been somewhat of a challenge, since they take up a lot of room, must be accessible from the top and need a solid support. Anyone use a pull out shelf system?

I have three TT's hooked up.
I have separate phono electronics for each'
I have a Rega P5/Benz Glider to a Bryston BP 1.5 phono
Then a Kuzma Sogi S/Dynavector 17D3 to a Audio Research Sp-15 preamp i use just for the tubed phono section. (I love this preamp and just keep it around, I use it for the phono to keep it active and in use)
Then an old Dual Golden One/Dynavector Ruby via an Audio Research PH-2 I also love and want to keep in use.

I have two on a TV stand which matches the rest of my racks.I have the Rega on an old VPI sprung base, on patio blocks. The Kuzma also up an aa Teak like board (Brazilian wood, flooring sample, beautiful)
The TTs are 15 feet back from the speakers anyway. The third TT is just on a cabinet laying around.

Two turntables and four tonearms active into a stand-alone phono stage with 3 phono inputs and a preamp with 2 phono inputs. Everything is on Adona stands (4) and shelves (3 per stand), which I think are terrific.

Two turntables....6 arms......one phono input to Halcro DM10 preamp.
I simply reach behind the preamp, pull out the connected cables and insert the new ones.
Each pair of cables has colour-coded electrical tape for identification purposes and four of the arms have XLR terminations thus not requiring connection of a separate earth wire.
I can change arms/tables in 27 seconds flat :^)
