Nice score on getting the old parts, was very nice of Otis to give you those. Usually they won’t let you have anything.

Just letting you know, I do watch your videos. It’s fascinating and interesting to check out the elevators. I’d do the very same thing you do, these are very cool. I have done my own exploring and riding on elevators. Checked out a few machine rooms too, had a close call once exploring a machine room, we thought we were the only ones in the building until the motor started up, we beat it down the ladder and out of the room, they never did come up, they selected a floor under us, lol. I’ve done lots of exploring. Keep up the cool videos of the neat elevators. Oh, got to run a very old haughton manual elevator. There’s still a few in my town. Love your elevator videos!
