Old video - old 70's Schindler R Series lift at Waterstones, Cheltenham

I'M BACK!!! So sorry about the inactivity, I've been really busy with work, but I'm now aiming to upload 2 videos a week to keep my channel active.
Filmed in 2013 and 2015.
This was my first proper lift video I'd ever done in 2013, and to be honest it was slightly nerve-wracking, but I had to start somewhere, and this lift was the perfect choice in my opinion to start my lift filming. This was a beautiful old Schindler R Series installed in the 70's, the shop is opposite Cavendish House on Cheltenham's Promenade. The lift felt really nice and old, it wasn't traction though. In 2015, Schindler had decided to replace its original button panel with Dewhurst for some reason, and that was the only thing they'd done to that lift. It still felt nice and old though. Sadly since then, Aurora lifts have completely ruined it with a Lester controls modernisation.

Awesome video thought... What expect of this elevator looks like Bennie Lift Company Ltd, guess it is! Great, video, buddy. ;)

[@lovelifts1736]

Thanks, this was a 1970's Schindler before it got modernised a few years ago. Could well have been an older Bennie before the Schindler...! 🙂

Since the video Is 8 years old, I can guess this was modernized since

Yep it has been, in fact replaced

[@LIFTEXCELSIOROfficial]

Okay now this is something I wish still existed XD 2:17 is it me or does that mod COP look like one off an Oakland?

[@lovelifts1736]

Yeah, me too! Yeah, I see what you mean about the COP, possibly…! I kind of doubt it though 🤔

2:17 That COP looks exactly the same as the Glass Lifts in Hemel Hempstead.
