Lovely to see this old technology built to last and still in service. The purest form of recycling is to keep using stuff.

[@GaryCameron780]

Problem is manufacturers don't make money when stuff stays in service like that.

[@N617A]

For those who don't know: selective collective= a modern elevator. A computer knows which way the elevator is going and will respond to all cab and floor calls in the direction it's going. Collective=a rare elevator... It doesn't care which direction it's going. You hit one button and it will either come to your floor or answer a cab call first. Regardless of which way it's going. It's kind of randomized. Those elevators were pains in the butts and are epically rare now a days. This elevator will respond to 1 call and cancel any other calls until the first call is complete.

[@brianmoody9557]

At the university I graduated from (University of Nebraska at Omaha), we had two elevators with collective. One was a 4-story (busy building) unit. It would accept calls, but you could not tell it whether you wanted up or down. It even had Fire Service Phase I and II! And it was small too. Put the control system and the size and it was very inefficient. It was replaced by a larger TK hydro. Another one was a 2-story hydraulic. On this one you could reverse direction mid-flight! It was torn out and now dry wall and a large picture are in it's place!

[@NSCSXRailfan]

I love those vintage elevators and relays!

[@miirivaughn3642]

Theres a really old elevator in Paducah KY at the century building. It has big buttons and a flip number outside. It's all original still I think. It works really well.

[@blue.light.fazbear]

Awesome elevator! It has everything an old elevator has.

[@stphinkle]

Amazing how 87 year old elevator equipment can still be in use today and still working. The owners must have kept it up very well and it seems as if those mechanisms back then were built like a tank.

[@HawkinsWX]

I have to say , older elevators are much Beautiful than new ones

[@427zoh6]

Great job.....hats off to the Tech for not showing how to circumvent safety items to access the top of the Elevator.

[@TheElevatorandAirplaneFinder]

There's a historic Haughton elevator from 1910 in Columbus, Indiana that has no car doors just a gate

[@PAelevators]

We have one very similar to that here In Pittsburgh I wonder if that one was wooden rails except it doesn't gave CJA it has I think Some sort of Otis button

[@thesuperrobertlol]

The way the elevator instantly stops at the floor is just so satisfying lol

[@ailtonsevero986]

Amazing machine! Grettings from Brazil.

[@DieselDucy]

Thank you very much!

[@johnkolk]

Thank you Mike!!!!

[@sictransitgloriamundi230]

Gott, ich bin verliebt. 🙂 Solch schöne alte Technik.

[@SamSitar]

what a piece of history. excellent early controller.

[@danielmarreviews3947]

Very nice!! Interesting that the motor and controller was in a small space!

[@BuildingToursForLife1660-4]

EPIC Elevator y'all with EPIC MOTOR And EPIC RELAY'S Y'ALL

[@mrmattandmrchay]

Truly a classic lift and exception video! :)

[@MysticMTL]

Do you know when the elevator was closed in? And if there are any photos of it when it was a birdcage model?

[@SRCVintageElectronics]

You should check out the elevator at the Tivoli Hotel in Downers Grove IL. The building was built in 1928 and I think its original :)

[@petroldevo9934]

It still works because it was made in the U.S.A ! More reliable mechanical systems back then.

[@Bombiedude.]

Wow most quietest old elevator motor Ive ever heard

[@DieselDucy]

It was awesome

[@Wetboyslim]

The russian KMZ-58 is very similar to this.

[@Bombiedude.]

Well it is simple but what more would you have needed back in the day

[@tommy13t]

Why did he not want you to film that one part? Other then that. Love these videos!!!

[@donalddavis581]

Good old Titan! Delt with them many times!!

[@beaniepud]

why didn't he want you to film when he moved the car?

[@KrisDouglas]

So people don't see the inspection mode process.

[@SummerADDE_Elevators]

Nice! But how does the elevator keep track on it's position. Something should cut off the Power to the floor relay, right?

[@DieselDucy]

+ADDEs Transporting Adventures! I just confirmed that it keeps track of its position with switches in the hoistway.

[@SummerADDE_Elevators]

Ah, I tought so when I saw thoose switches later on...

[@blueauraretriever]

+DieselDucy It's a good thing it doesn't see modernization in the forecast anytime soon.

[@DieselDucy]

+Uphoisting Experiences by Technicalboy3000 It wont :)

[@blueauraretriever]

***** Yay! Because my school elevator is in very bad condition. It is a 1930s Otis and it used to have black buttons. Generic came in and modernized it in the 1980s with C.J. Anderson and an entirely new cab interior, and an emergency phone was installed in 2005 or 7 I donno but it was during the time of the fire alarm replacement. And the elevator still has the original controller from 1932 and the original 2-speed motor. It breaks down once or twice a month, and sometimes when it reaches the next floor landing and stops there, the doors don't open and after a few seconds it goes to the next floor. That happened to me once this school year, and another time was when the elevator kept releveling like crazy on the first floor and the doors refused to close. My English teacher became frustrated and took the stairs, and I followed along with my friends. I ended up being late to math class because of the elevator! I hope it gets modernized soon because even the floor indicator which is a matrix indicator is burnt out. And plus, most of the call buttons including the fourth floor button do not light up. Wanna know what day it happened? *April fools day*

[@zackcacciapalle6405]

Judging by what I know about elevator relay logic, if you gave this multiple calls, it would just reset every call and continue or reverse until the last call was reached.

[@prijesi]

Very cool

[@aboutmedicine2659]

Something that it is missing Where is the floor selector.?

[@DieselDucy]

I’m not sure. This is all I saw.

[@rumeunner3245]

Why didn't he want you filming him opening the door prior to seeing the top of the car?

[@DieselDucy]

Not sure

[@elevatorsasansorler]

good

[@DavidBerquist334]

What is the motor voltage amprage draw and is it 3 phase

[@denispasseti]

Inversor de frequência passava bem lonje nessa época 🤣

[@HawkinsWX]

Cool

[@feli0999]

Hey!do you share dath pitcure of lift's machine to me please?

[@HawkinsWX]

Do you know we're Church Hill is ?

[@michaelturner4457]

No large yellow DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE and KEEP OUT notices? I presume this elevator machine room is in a private house and is private ownership.

[@DieselDucy]

it was private.

[@rachelferrufino6462]

Do a elevator at the KOP Mall

[@ElevatingEurope]

He has already done a few.

[@xiaomong8]

SINGLE SPEED!

[@user-ut7bx5nl5t]

1929?? wow...

[@seanjuth]

Yeah, that's actually a machine cabinet. You can't get to the power switch without risking getting electrocuted. Talk about a major fire Hazard

[@breakinglimitssickjambutte9450]

Is this a single speed elevator?

[@DieselDucy]

+BreakingLimits//SickJamButter Yes it is.

[@blueauraretriever]

+DieselDucy In my school is a 1930s Otis modernized with CJ Anderson in the 1980s and it still has the 2-speed traction motor.

[@donalddavis581]

watch out for bats! almost put my hand on them many times!

[@ronalddewerk]

It's more fun when you are lilmt with a mechanic

[@devingoins361]

[@HawkinsWX]

[@DieselDucy]

+Eli Bray Heard of it but not really.

[@andrewarmstrong7310]

I'm not so sure I would step in an elevator that is one year older than I am. Just joking. I am sure I have been in elevators that are much older.

[@raymondleggs5508]

CLICK BUZZZ!

[@elevatorsasansorler]

good
