Seems like the differences in the movement of the two needles might cause
problems.  Maybe you could offset the cue points of the two grooves and
just use two tonearms.  This brings up another of my brilliantly pointless
questions:

Has anyone ever dj'd a setup that has two tonearms playing one record such
that you could crossfade back to the quarternote that "just happened" and
do some slapback echo business?  Obviously this is the same as having two
copies of the record and two turntables, but I had to ask, 'k?

No stone left unturned,
