Small irritating problem.
I've had these two wall boxes for well over a decade. Bought separately on eBay over a couple of years.
I use them (occasionally) with an adapter to select tracks on mp3 playlists on second-hand 3rd gen iPods to play through my vintage hi-fi system. I have a third title card magazine so I can choose between three iPods. Just a question of changing over ipods and the magazine in either machine. I'm a tidy person, (my wife wouldn't have any trailing wires when I made this shelf for them then). The four pairs of wires are in the trunking below the shelf. There's quick-release connectors behind each box.
They are identical with serial numbers within 150 of each other.
The three pages are identical each starting at 100, 145 and 172.
I've never completely changed the playlists since I set them up all those years ago, I just add and subtract a few tracks now and again.
Recently one of the iPods died so I bought another on ebay. I decided to load it with a complete new playlist.
You have to get the 160 selections on the title cards to match the playlist exactly, get one track in the wrong order then all those that follow will be out of sync. But I couldn't get the second two pages to play to the right selections.
Then I remembered, on one box the page selections go 100, followed by 145 then 172 and the other 100, 172 then 145. . So I just had to move the last 56 selections up that many places.
There seems no logic for this difference.
