Didn't you have to manually change the signs with a knob/keypad on those series?

The front route sign on the 1000s | 7400s | 9000s had an operator accessed toggle switch which would rotate it up or down. ?

Wait weren't those rollers? ?? I see what you did. I still remember cranking the sign at the children's museum. Cant remember the roll it had assigned though ?

Yep. What had confused me that it started with 1000s, but in a game I played with Twin Coach Flxibles, not "these" 1000s, but the Fishbowls. ? There is posted somewhere around here some "Frankenbuses" with flip dot signs, but they had Transdot controllers.

Roller curtains up to 9800s/7100s. Electronic starting with 4000s. Hand cranked thru 3000 Flxs, motor driven starting with 3300s.

5300-5544 had thumbwheel controllers, 5545-5769 had touchpads. I don't know enough about these to know who made which ones, I'm afraid, just that there were two different ones.
