    I do also love those early animated floor indicators in the halls on those lifts. There used to be a couple just near from me, and I enjoyed just watching the two lifts racing up and down in the shopping mall answering calls and watching the numbers scroll up, and down and then the arrow flash up or down when it arrived at the floor I was on. Not there anymore - it got modernized with LCD displays about 5 years ago

    These old Schindlers are a delight... however, the number of these lifts is decreasing, so enjoy them whilst they are still around... Nice video nonetheless, a mrmattandmrchay video is always a good sign.

    That old Schindler looks ill, it's in bad nick on the inside too. They probably could have repaired it, but knowing Schindler it's out of warrenty and Schindler is notorious for not supporting their legacy equipment. To them it's obsolete. Sadly lift companies are increasingly getting the same attitude as consumer electronics companies.

    Ooh very nice! Good video! I've seen an almost identical lift - but only in its modernised state :( Loving the pun!

    Hi lovely video always will watch your channel
  • Those lifts are kind of nostalgia. It reminds me of a place where they used this lift...

    Well the new machine is certainly not an MRL installation, yes gear-less traction with flat belts. With the angle of the machine on the machine beams, and the anchored hoist belts at each end, I bet this is a 2:1 with a single compensating sheave top of the cab (or possibly two at each side of the cab) and on the counterweight. I saw the other machine is a geared traction.

    Cool video im sad that they are replacing it😭. And yes i am an living in aylesbury and i was the one who mention the lift in boots in Aylsbury
  • If the writing is correct on the walls in the motor room are correct than these lifts are installed in 1985 and 1986

    My new Gen2 in my home which was replaced in 2019 with a 2018 model E2KO4711 and the remaining "Prime lift" elevators freight Is slightly spooky. The crew of 1975 elevator filmers

    They used to have lifts like this in my local town Kettering but they got modded by Jackson lift company.

    There’s actually two large lifts that are the same model as that one in Forest Hill Shopping Centre in Melbourne that were installed in 1988-87 when the centre first opened but the centre opened in 1988 so they possibly were installed up to a year earlier! However those lifts have LED grids on the displays outside the lifts that show what floor the lift is on and have arrows that are animated up or down! So those lifts were probably introduced in the mid to late 80s but were also common in the early 90s! However the strange thing about the lifts in the shopping centre is that they have early 90s/late 80s circular Dewherst buttons instead of Schindler’s buttons so it’s possible that they are original or were replaced at some point more recently! :)

    You should like our work elevators. I think they might be from like beginning of 1960s. And, well... they work. Most of the time. Then some HLR and then it works, and so on. Nobody seems to be willing to do some proper renovation or something like that. A lot of colleagues has been stuck during the years. =)
