The gate is the EXACT same design as the ones at Takashimaya Nihonbashi in Japan!

Pretty cool of that classic old elevator for helding hand driver work with elevator manually control level floors. That's very superb to vid! I give you 90 stars plus! Awesome.

Wow, I don't think I have ever seen an elevator that still has a working dial floor indicator.

Sadly these elevators have been modded. They kept the cab decor and the floor call buttons and the floor indicators in the lobby but they are now automatic with no operator..

I swear, if this get modernized, I will literally freak out.

[@CrossOfBayonne]

It won't happen anytime soon.

Sadly they are being modernized. The left elevator in the lobby is now done. They are keeping the cab decor, and the original call buttons as well as the mechanical pointer floor indicators in the lobby but they no longer need an operator and are now fully automatic as of May 1. That's when they closed the "Right" elevator for its Mod.

What style of inside door is that? Most were usually a folding gate type. That kind seems to be a solid grille type that folds around the outside of the car. Anyway, that is a cool old elevator!
