Now that is a REAL elevator. Good ol' gears, chains, and relays. 62 years old and still going strong, even if it does have a replaced motor.

[@explodingbrick9544]

msj191961 yup :)

[@TXMNElevators]

Happy birthday Andrew! I thought about you when I rode some elevators today :)

[@mountaincentralelevatorsmore]

good job

[@blue.light.fazbear]

Relay logic too!!

[@TheTheo58]

very nice video of the machine room still has the original relay controller and floor selector, I have not seen too many unders-sluged 2:1 traction elevators. If I recall there are four sheaves 2 underside of the cab, top of the shaft for the driven sheave, 2nd opposite side for the counterweight, for a basement traction machine. Is the machine a 3 phase 480V AC induction motor with a reversing relay on the control board?

[@QuarioQuario54321]

What are the pros and cons to bottom drive elevators?

[@EDISONTECH]

Happy Birthday Dieselducy

[@DanielSheytoon]

Hapy birthday Andrew. I am DanielKingElevator

[@Tigrou7777]

1:56 the four big contactors are U : up, D : down, HS : high speed, LS : low speed.

[@georgef551]

It's all Payne, except the TK motor, of course. (I know my Paynes.)

[@marcs3982]

Anyone know of a website that deals with old S. Heller elevator conversions to a modern drive motor, and a plc controls? The drive motor for our elevator at the local FOE club burned up this past week. Penthouse control room, four floor building. Thanks

[@everythingexe]

What would happen if power was lost during operation. I assume there's some sort of break.

[@DieselDucy]

+Leeyum_exe the brake would apply

[@bryanschlippjr4894]

Happy birthday andrew reams :D

[@Seppen552]

Was that the counterweight coming down at 0:50?

[@caroleast9636]

That was the side of the car. It wouldn’t usually be open to view like that but it clearly shows the underslung roping arrangement.

[@Seppen552]

@@caroleast9636 Oh I understand now. Thanks for clearing that up!

[@nikospodas6201]

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY

[@elevatorsbyliftfilmer1247]
