Restoring and Wiring a DEVE Elevator Car Panel

[@ElevatoringProductions]

I was so excited to get to interact with this panel at the Museum. These might be the most robust elevator buttons I've ever seen. I wish they had been brought to the US!

[@stlelevators]

Yeah these buttons have fascinated me for a while and it was neat to work with them.

[@pepsicolachao4537]

Really neat looking elevator panel

[@stlelevators]

One of the more interesting ones I've worked with.

[@idl3k_elev]

According to Swedish elevator filmer ADDE these buttons are called TKID. Wish I could film and ride a DEVE elevator as these fixtures look very interesting and unique. Australia is perhaps the closest country for me to ride a DEVE as there are still a few of them in there apart from Dover Impulse.

[@stlelevators]

Interesting. I don't know a lot about these.

MY FAVORITE ELEVATOR THING

[@stlelevators]

These buttons?

[@jaedenspider877]

​​@@stlelevators yes these buttons are so satisfying to push

[@tkefan29]

Nice how the panel is small enough to fit on your table.

[@stlelevators]

Yeah it's definitely a small car panel.

[@metroelevators4619]

That sure is some amazing panel

[@stlelevators]

Yeah it is!

[@SummerADDE_Elevators]

Thoose light bulbs are very common on my elevator parts collection. Used by Asea-graham, KONE, Schaefer, Rafi, ,Schlieren etc. They run on 24V DC. There is even a LED variant of theese.

[@stlelevators]

Interesting. It's not a super common bulb on stuff here.

I kinda figured out what NED and UPP mean since I saw a video in Sweden on escalators and it showed what was up and what was down!

[@stlelevators]

That’s neat

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

@@stlelevators plus the sweesish word for UP literly just adds another P and makes it say UPP

[@SamSitar]

more elevators should have flap type buttons like those.

[@stlelevators]

Yeah this is an interesting style for sure.

[@idl3k_elev]

While I've never been on a DEVE with these fixtures, these buttons look very convenient to press.

[@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL]

i seem to remember one of the buttons on that pressing in but not coming back out without assistance, was it the far right one on the bottom row?

[@stlelevators]

Yep. I fixed it and it was actually a simple fix. Just had to adjust the actual metal housing.

[@wiertalokelevators23]

A very interesting panel, I think the shape of the buttons is quite unusual, but very interesting and nice, as for light bulbs, Polish ZREMB lifts also have them, awesome video! ;)

[@stlelevators]

Thanks!

Most DEVE elevators are hydraulic elevators. They're common in Sweden.

[@stlelevators]

Interesting. I don't know a lot about Deve.

[@idl3k_elev]

From what I heard DEVE only made hydraulic elevators. They never made traction elevators.

[@irgendwerausbayern1999]

@@idl3k_elev The new hospital in Bollnäs, Sweden has 3 DEVE-SCHINDLER traction elevators.

Quick question. How do you get all your panels to stand up without moving? Do you make stands for them? Because I'd like to put my parts on a shelf or something, but they move around when I press the buttons.

[@stlelevators]

You need something on the shelf to stop the movement. I use drawer liner to do it. You have a lot of color choices and it can be cut to a specific size.

[@ex5138]

Ok, so what do I do with the drawer liner, do I just put it on the shelf? Will that stop the movement?
