Used to be PETRIFIED of these! Does this CLASSIC OTIS LIFT work?

i'd almost given up hope but then IT OPENED UP! YESSSSSSSSSS!

At least they installed a nice KONE instead of a cheap generic lift.

I love the wall carpet.

Great video and great find! Looking forward to part 2

This is a gorgeous lift! Even including the walls, that just adds to the time capsule vibe. Definitely looking forward to the next video! (The curvature of the video does give me a bit of a headache though, just wanted to point that out. :))

Wow, that was a suprise! You really wouldn’t have expected it to still work with a new ecodisc besides it and the unresponsive buttons. But there’s still some life left in that lift. It’s got a cosy interiour too. I have never see an Otis lift with blackbuttons in such a slim-line door frame design. I wonder how similair it is “under the hood” to the Flohr-Otis “Pira/Pilo” model lifts with swing doors from the late 60’s / early 70’s that where quite common in germany and the netherlands. Those lifts had some interresting door designs that are quite unique in their styling. Sadly there are not many of them around anymore and I’ve last been in one in 2004 when my grandfather was still alive in an elderly home.

2:53 you can see the bulb for 5 slightly light up.

What a really nice find! I didn't think anything would still be around so original!

OK, this is the most exited I have ever been for a mrmattandmrchay video.

Can't wait for part 2 ! For the drag race, on one side we have an old Otis lift and on the other, a brand new Kone. The Kone has "intelligent leveling", where the lift brakes smoothly in one clean shot to be perfectly lined up with the floor, and the Otis has "classic leveling", where the doors open during the leveling period, and both appear to go at the same speed. But the Otis might win for its instant start and early doors opening.

Wonder if you could start a UK Lift Preservation Society, preserving historical lifts and get funding for that. 🤔

Great lift. Looking forward to seeing the next video.

The good old 1970s quality! Try this with chinese lifts in 40 years!

This is an epic lift. I wish there were epic lifts like this where I live

It has unique character! Great video!

Really nicely edited and put together too Matt, great work here :D

Can't wait for Part 2!!!

3:40 I really like that indicator its really cool how it looks like its built into the door frame

Excellent video and what a great find! Hope you manage to get access to the motor room...

Very lucky to get a look at the motor room
