You know what I can't stand? When people leave their goddamned trash inside a perfectly good vintage elevator car. I do love that dinner bell "ding!" sound. Great find, Ben!
your lift tours are very entertaining. tilting windows are fun. where is 7a in relation to 7? those otis lifts are still good. please keep them. 1960s fixtures are brilliant.
An awesome set of lifts, although it looks like time is starting to catch up with them and the boring generic buttons will be everywhere soon. I like that glass lift, not seen buttons like that on an Otis before.
middle tower lift looks more broken they would not take 2 lifts off at once and it does not have the metal panels blocking it so just broken i'd say but no doubt its replacment is imminent
On the 1st modded otis lift why didnt they used original otis buttons instead of dewhurst? On the 2nd modded otis lift why didnt they put kss fixtures instead of crap dewhurst? The glass lift indicator is otis and the buttons are stannah thats kind of unusual
You won't like what I'm about to tell you....but Evil Owl has been here and Generics are now modernizing/replacing these lifts....seems to be part of all the upgrades they're doing to this place. I would send a photo, but RU-vid has stopped allowing links in comments.....I'll message you with the pic.
+The_ALEX_ELLIS_Channel I hope they leave some of them original, but I fear that they will all be modernized. Do you know if the scenic elevator is going to be modernized? I really hope they don't do anything to the paternoster.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I really wanted to film these lifts, but they're being f***ing modernised. S**t a**es!
On priority service, you press and hold the open, close, or any of the floor buttons in order to operate the lift, it's like the fire service mode in amarica, but much easier.
