Filmed in June 2019.
As you guys may or may not know by now, 3 days ago, July 10th was my 18th Birthday!
Unfortunately, because I haven't really filmed much at all since the pandemic started in March, I wasn't sure what to upload and the past 3 days I've been busy applying for jobs/apprenticeships and I went out to SeaWorld on my own so I apologize for uploading this a bit late, but I'm thinking this is the best elevator I have in my backlog, so I decided I'd upload this.
It's an almost Completely Original CEDER Elevator from the 1960s, which as suggested by the Dover plate in the center on the floor of the cab, Ceder was in fact a Dover distributor.
As I said above this elevator is ALMOST Completely Original. ALMOST. The Motor, Controller, Call stations, one of the COPs and one of the indicators, and the ABSOLUTELY EPIC SOUNDING and LOUD Motor Generator are all original from when this elevator was installed, likely in the 60s, but in the 90s or 2000s, one of the COPs, and one of the indicators were replaced with Adam's, but as I said, this is otherwise totally original.
This elevator is pretty strange however, and quite glitchy. Notice how the on Newer COP and indicator, the highest available floor is 5, while on the original indicator and COP, it suggests the elevator goes a total of 8 floors. Also, the original COP is all keyswitches and nothing else aside from the door open button....
And while this elevator for the most part works fine, the call stations glitch when the down button is pressed, and the indicators....I'm not even gonna describe how screwed up they are, but let's just say they TOTALLY have a mind of their own....
Aside from the glitches and quirks however, this is an absolutely AMAZING Elevator with an EPIC Generator, EPIC Classic Leveling and very much totally original aside from what I stated isn't above!
With that all being said, enjoy the video, and thanks to everyone who's wished me a Happy 18th Birthday!!!
Installed in Circa 1960s. (Ceder/Dover with Circular White Armor fixtures)
Modernized in Circa 1990s or Early 2000s. (One of the COPs and one of the indicators were each replaced with Square Adams fixtures, but otherwise left totally original!)
