Sounds very creative...............we wish you the best of success for working to integrate the equipment pool. If it works, previous unusable equipment laying in garages, boat houses, even pickup beds will have a new usefulness possible. With the rise in today's costs of durable goods equipment purchases boaters will be able to interface their "Old" with the "New and Improved". I see guys talking about MEGA this or that, I am still using an original Helix 10 KVD. It's going to have to die before I replace it. I still regret selling my old 899. Both work as well as the day I bought them.
