Amazing video and amazing lift! Would love to see that selector for a little longer - it looks like the same style as Schindler with the roller switches that get positioned on or off as the wheel goes around.
Wow, that looks really grotty and dodgy! Just look at the wiring and rusty handwheel. You'd be wondering how well this lift is maintained, it looks so grotty. I'm suprised that it is a two speed motor, I had expected it to be a single speed job. The controller looks suprisingly simple considering the controller has memory and even changes direction once it has completed it's call sequence. That floor selector looks very shindler like. Interresting....
Yes i thought the exact same thing! "Where's the rest of that controller?" Full memory with change of direction, yet still so simple and minmal. Very interesting indeed. I spotted components from Italy, Japan and Korea aswell as the brands Pilux and Ringels i don't know where come from
+Heritage Elevators Wow, they seem to have cobbled it together from all sorts of parts they saw fit. Must probably a generic build. But that controller is so suprising in it's simplicity.
this elevator reminds me a lot of the one filmed by Jan Lager in an East German building installed in 1969. were they made by the same company or is it just a coincidence?
Really? Motor room unlocked and half-open door? Weird... But at least the elevator was nice, it has also nice traction motor and loved the buttons inside.
I have heard that some slower speed elevators (at least older ones) in the UK (and possibly other countries, but maybe not the United States) don't always have a governor. However, they do have a safety for if the cables snap (it may work on rope tension like the original Otis safety, though it may be a different design).
Yep, ones that I've seen have a rope which goes from the counter weight, over a separate wheel then attaches to the lift car brakes. So, when the lift is moving the rope doesn't really do much - it just travels with the lift. But if the car were to fall, then this separate rope would pull the brakes on. I have a couple of videos of mine which show this, let me know if you want me to find them.
But it's probably been thought that, on certain lifts there isn't a realistic possibility that the lift could go too fast, therefore an overspeed governor is not required. Not sure whether you could get away with one with today's regs.
One of the most usual Greek lifts you’ll found out there, very nice video!
Wow, huge found!!!! It's very rare find an open machine room without a door!
However the puleys are very very rusted!
Most machine rooms in Greece are unlocked
Yes Sir thats an old Schindler 👍

Awesome elevator! Love those vintage buttons, retro cab, green indicators (like Sabiem style) and the floor selector!
Aduh, Kamu lagi
I love that floor indicator!!!

+Heritage Elevators in mine lift push the alarm its verry funny
It's works better then a new lifts In Melbourne where we pay so much for Otis services
Interesting lifts when greece in1993 they are funny
Looks like a 60's Schindler selector wheel which identifies the position of the lift!
Also IFMA used the selector wheel. IFMA is the brand of licensed Schindler-technology elevators in Romania.

The cabin light timer going off seems to trigger the next call.
This type of elevator is very common in Greece.

Are those buttons typical in Athens?
Very typical, most elevators I see in apartments building have buttons and indicators like this. Most original lifts are from Greek companies.
Really interessing elevator ;) I love that one :D
Nice elevator and great video 👍

1:16 you can’t go to the basement!
This elevator 1980s. δεκαετία
Here's a question - does it have a governor? Is it part of the floor selector assembly, or not directly visible? Or no safety perhaps? :O

Ahh, that makes some sense. Thanks!

Is this system only used on governorless elevators?
But it's probably been thought that, on certain lifts there isn't a realistic possibility that the lift could go too fast, therefore an overspeed governor is not required. Not sure whether you could get away with one with today's regs.
