@@Bombiedude. Yeah, that’s a very good point! The lifts home back down to the bottom floor after every use, and they open and close the doors every time. So basically it enters its self a normal car call back down. So I think that has something to do with it. I think on the ground floor, when you press the call button while the lift is already there, it uses the same part of the logic circuit as if you just pressed ‘door open’ from inside. The door open button has a no open timer also.

@@Lift.Tracker ok I was just getting the idea of it for if I visit the UK one day since Im from the US and they did things a tiny bit different back then

@@Abdur-Rehman They’re both running on the original controllers from 1953. One of them just has a slight fault with one of the timers which would normally prevent that. :-)

@@Abdur-Rehman That’s interesting how that’s happening. Wouldn’t usually expect that with the way which Express’s door design works. I can guess that either the wheels on the drive block (door lock) are extremely worn out, or the lock on the retiring cam isn’t engaging or is removed, meaning the cam is just springing back in when pressure is applied, meaning it loses grip on the outer door. Still a strange thing to happen by its self.

@@Bombiedude. Glass lifts were still fairly new at this time, and throughout the 1980s there were some very decorative designs for them. These being from the 90s is a continuation of that trend. Nowadays though, they don’t really make anything fancy with glass lifts which is a shame. It’s mainly all about making it as cheap as possible, and also with ‘mininaliam’ being trendy making things have little design to them.

@@Lift.Tracker exactly

No, I didn’t. Maybe next time though! :-)

Ok I go Redditch a lot and that lift is my angel That lift you was in that old Otis I got stuck in it and had 2 open the doors with my bare hands

It’s kind of a mixture of public and service lift really. It’s there for anyone to use :-)

Oh wow! I never knew that! Is it a hydraulic or traction?

I reckon a traction

Bennies really aren’t too common compared to Express. There’s even more old Otises I reckon!

@@Lift.Tracker You're not wrong there! sadly the Expresses in mount pleasant multi storey are still out of action, doesn't look like they'll work again anytime soon :(

@@VintageLiftLad Ah, that’s a shame. But very typical of anything owned by the council lol! Hopefully even if they do get modernised, then it will be a very cheap mod where they replace as little as possible!

@@Lift.Tracker aye especially seeing how cheap it is to park there. Signs everywhere now saying 'NO LIFTS' :(

Certainly is! And yeah, it’s single speed. :-)

@@Lift.Tracker I love single speed lifts

Bennie sometimes bought in parts to use on their lifts rather than making their own. They had typically always done it to a minimal extent, but started to do it more and more throughout the 80s, and then even more so in the 90s.
