THE MRMATTANDMRCHAY CHANNEL, established 2009:
I'm passionate about uploading quality and interesting videos for YOU, my audience.
What is my channel about? "Old lift machinery made interesting", old air-raid sirens, prehistoric alarm equipment - things that I find fascinating and I hope you will too. If "I" don't find it interesting (or funny in case of this video!!) - IT DOESN'T GET UPLOADED!
I always spend a lot of time editing my videos with animations, video in-sync with music and voice overs to make them this way. I'm also a perfectionist!
My moto - "Quality NOT Quantity" - spending a month editing a video is not a rarity!
But without you, I'm nothing here. Thank you so much for watching.
...mrmattandmrchay is me (Matt) and my son Chay.

    probably best lifts ever those releys clickin'
  • You never fail to impress with your uploads! So well edited and recorded all the time. Appreciate you filming these classic lifts while they are still around!

    Those elevators work just as smooth as a well oiled and maintained machine still in service 52 years later. Very massive geared traction machines and the motorized brake. The floor selector is an engineering marvel. Preserve these elevators and their relay logic controls. They a piece of history and built to last.

    You have my like even before I watch the video. Thanks for share this great content with us!

    So these lifts were installed when the building was a department store, and survived the building’s change into a shopping centre in the 80’s. I think I read the buildings due a renovation, I wonder if they’ll still survive past that.

    Very good video, thanks for posting! I assumed in my reaction of a other video (with the Citroën) I heared the noise of a Dynatron drive, tough it wasn't. It seams to be a 2-speed motor, type KDLF/KDH. The accelerating sound is quite similar to a Dynatron. Thanks again for this informative video :-)

    Another of your video that goes down to my bucket list of "My favourite mrmattandmrchay videos to watch" LOL! The way you edited this video makes me speechless, you're definitely one of the BEST lift filmers ever! Was the smaller lift originally a goods lift as well before it was converted into a passenger lift, or is it really a passenger lift since it was installed?
