- Can't believe it - I should have filmed that old Bennie lift when I had a chance, but NOOOOO....I wanted to film the motor room and come back and do it in one hit - 3 months later I'm back and TOO LATE!! It's gone!! I was a scary one speed lift from the 1970s "concrete high rise flats" era - no nice features just functionality. It screeched to a halt and was scary - just the type of lift I enjoy filming. REALLY wanted to get into that motor room to film it and I could have done, had it not been modernised months before :(
So, not a good start!!!
Later in the day I found this "cable lifts" lift. Not quite as interesting as the Bennie would have been but still this is a classic and certainly one that I'm interested to film.
But after my epic fail a few weeks (when I let an unlocked motor room door go and it locked before I had a chance to film it) I starting to have second thoughts about attempting go and see this motor room....
Love the rippled aluminum effect...typical 80s futuristic
I love the anti-vandal panelling and doors you find on 1960s tower block lifts. So period.
The old lift looks like it is wrapped in aluminium foil......
Wolfie SavageFam lolololololol
Ikr
Biggest cooking foil lift cold!
True it looks like cooking foil
YEEE
This is not a Cable lift. This is a Cable CO lift. Cable started in the 1990's. Cable CO started in the 1960's.
Great thing about isolation, rewatching your lift escapades.
Glad to see that you didn't play any ball games.
+Terry Clark yep... no ball games but no signs up saying "no motor room visits " :D
mrmattandmrchay Ah the famous Bob Pease principle of SMWISICDI (show me where it says I can't do it).

Terry Clark ok

Why are the buttons so high up on the second elevator? How is anyone in a wheelchair going to reach those??
Ssssshhhhhh... saying those words makes generic companies with modern Dewhurst US91EN's come out!!
no one really cared about disabled people then lol
Wow, those buttons are REALLY high. Not sure I could even reach the call button!
IKR! How about people on wheelchair? 😂
@@SchindlerGamerno one cared about disabled people in the 60’s and 70’s lol
That voice in the modernised lift is the same as the ( LML modernised) otises at my hospital
ahh no, another interesting lift modernised. but at least we still have this lift. its really cool, with aluminium foil looking interior. those buttons are so high though. especially the alarm button which is far too high. they should probably install an extra alarm button
I love subscribing to this channel!
+AwesomeRPGDigo Hey thanks :) I love people subscribing to my channel also ;)
Nice one! Can't wait for part two!
Well at least the 2nd one even though it doesn’t have the safety sensors on the doors it still has the safety bumper on it
It sounds like frances street lifts first ones
The door timer on the old one definatelly needed to be longer because if an old slow person used it they wouldnt make it through before it shuts on them
There was a old multi-storey car park in Corby that had lifts that had doors like that but they had 90’s Dewhurst and then recently the car park got knocked down but the lift tower is still there ??? But the added a new stair way and a new lift shaft at the other end of the car park which are some Kone Ecodiscs. I don’t know if the old lifts exist or not as there’s a metal locked door in the way.
How can you consider this an odl lift? In my city there are wooden ones with black round buttons
+VanLuedewich haha I get your point but not many "really" old lifts left around here.
The height of the alarm button is ridiculous. Imagine a child, only 1.4m tall, and couldn't reach the alarm.
+Telfuke Yes, well when this lift was designed it probably wasn't envisaged that kids would ride in lifts without an adult. The alarm button was high to prevent kids playing around with it and to stop it being pressed in error. Also, bear in mind that in the 60s/70s there were no intercoms in the lift, so it was difficult to prove whether the alarm bell was pressed by accident or it's a real situation - if the alarm bell rang then the fire brigade were probably called.
I've seen adults that can't reach that tall!
You should visit Poland. We have lifts with no doors on older buildings. You can also visit huge steam driven (working) motors for coal mine lifts.
Cool, yeah I'd like that. I haven't been to Poland. The other places I've been to have been connected with the work I do, and they are free (my company pays for the flight, I do the work and find some lifts in the process!) I wouldn't really want to travel to Poland and pay for the flights, hotels, etc, just so that I can film some lifts. Also there are so many people in Poland that have probably already filmed the sort of things that I film. Surprisingly large community. The Coal mines sound interesting.
who modernized that poor old Bennie lift
Why is there no floor two button?
Flats. The 1st floor is the entrance to the flats, the 2nd floor is the first floor of the flats (the bedrooms i guess), then 3rd are the flats on the next level up.
Even in those days, I can't see why they would have the buttons so high - check out those hall buttons. Was it to stop children meddling?
I believe so - just in case kids pressed the alarm button. But what if they were actually stuck in the lift??! I suppose it was thought that kids would use the lifts with their parents. Most lifts from this era had the 'do not press during normal operation' buttons up high.
2:47
And maybe that was a very clever idea putting the alarm button very high so that little kids dont just press it willy nilly for fun
That was the thought, back in the 60s/70s. Alarm buttons activated bells, and without auto-dialler (this was the 60s/70s) the caretaker would have to be called to investigate. So the button was placed high up. Of course, if a kid was in the lift alone, how would he/she get attention!!
But I don’t live in the UK so I may not get to see these old buttons and stuff any time soon
I bet the cable lift wasn’t intended to be used by handicap people I actually think it is normally used for carrying like small cargo carts and stuff like that because the call buttons are too high for a handicap person to reach unless they have like a long stick or something
They were originally fitted so high to stop kids "mucking around" with them. Back then, it was just a bell on the ground floor and it relied on members of the public to call the caretaker if there was a problem. I suppose that every time the bell was pressed the caretaker would be called. Didn't have diallers and companies that monitored the lifts remotely back then.
not exactly wheelchair friendly lifts are they,and I hate those horrid box like landing indicators.
Hope mobile phones work when the doors are shut, unless you can reach that alarm button. I do wonder why some lifts have to pass DDA regs and some get left out
And actually I’m just thinking these old lifts that you filmed in the past were your last chance to see because most of them could’ve been replaced with these crappy cheap ones too
I wonder if the cable lift is modernised now
Probably! It's been many years since I've been there.
mrmattandmrchay
Amazing how you still reply
Nice video!
Dun dun DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN! MODERNISED! In think the PDERS lift is far better than the 1970's Bennie lift.
+TheBoshMeister99 how!!!!???
+battytec videos Because if it just got fully replaced it will break down the next every 5 years! The Cable CO lift will break down once a year!
+TheBoshMeister99 yeah, but theyre no where near as fun!
Yes I agree with you now. This comment is a year old! I have definitely changed my opinion between now and then.
moo
Well its a good thing cellphones and whatnot were around when the video went up because theres no phone button in the old one
Yes.. Check Out Motor Room.
I personally don't like that lift it looks budget, almost as if it's put it together out of left over parts, and where is the window in the door?
Very unique.
This one seems like it’s from the 1970s yet it used buttons as an indicator. How cheap.
Strange call button hmm?!?!?!
2:47 motor room locked
Wonderful modernisation i think, Why do You don't like it?
The transport enthousiast Only the voice is nice in my opinion
That intro is fucking awesome
No swearing please
@@lovemonster4052 You're about 3 years late
2:57 why is there not a second floor?
ARY1212 idk
English flats mostly have 2 floors in them, so there would be no reason to put another hallway going there if it was only flats on that floor.
0:31 Ugh...
EEW A GENERIC
Does it still exist ?
RIP FLOOR 2 BUTTON
YEEEEEEE

That Bennie was murdered/modernized.
I don't know about you but if I'm having a heart attack or some sort of trouble in an emergency I'm going to use the elevator and not the stairs but it's kind of hard if you're down there playing around pushing buttons
This is my last response to this as I'm getting bored. This was 06:45 in the morning - no-one else was around. If there was an emergency then I would have heard it and I would have stayed out of the way. I rode it from G to 3. Went to motor room where it was free for someone else to use, and did this about 3 times.
The lift isn't an "emergency" lift, your argument would have been more relevant.
Next time I'll have a shout around and make sure no-one is having/ or is expecting to have an emergency before I use a lift.
"Playing around pushing buttons" - I don't know what your problem is? So when I see someone driving a claasic car around the streets for no reason, is this person "Playing around in a car and using up road space and might block an ambulance?". Some people like classic cars, I happen to like classic lifts.
Life is full of risks, but complaining at me for using a lift (which is what I lift is for) at 06:45 in the morning, then giving me a scenario of someone has a heart attack which you think I would fail to notice, and besides, when I'm out of the lift it's free for someone to use anyhow. I'm thinking that maybe there is something else that's bothering you instead? I don't know, but it remains a very weak argument.
Come to think of it, if someone WAS having a heart attack then they might stand a better chance of getting support, because there was no-one else around except me!!!!
How come you messed around with the door. Was it to try and get it stuck
yeah lol
you make really amazing videos.....and also I have a fear of elevators :/
+Brandon Medrano Thank you, a lot of work goes into the planning, filming and of course editing!
Yeah, i know that experience
Well have fun man try to find some scary, cool elevators
+Brandon Medrano I was once also afraid of elevators from the 70s/80s (like this one) but now they fascinate me. Difficult to find original ones now, so I get very excited when I find ones like this.
+mrmattandmrchay cool, i know a lot of elevators but i don't go in them
Wtf... What if small person like 148 cm to reach that alarm button..
exactly! :)
is that other one an old bennie too?
yes, it was
mrmattandmrchay great!!!!!!!! 😊
Ok! Don’t play with the elevator! Elevators are not toys!
I'm 45 years old and an engineer! ;)
How is modernization a bad thing?
Ruins character of the lift
why can't i find PT 2?
+Justin Noker search for "two jump scares lift motor room" and you'll find it :)
Here link to 2:47
Shuch ashame they couldnt mod the bennie one with anything decent atleast they replaced it with a load of cheap crap
yea generic lifts are better. I LIKE GENERICS!!!
Wheres floor 2 button????!!!
Hiya Adam, It's a block of flats, so "I THINK", on the GROUND FLOOR are one/two bedroom flats on one floor. FIRST FLOOR are lots of three bedroom flats (houses) with 2 floors. THIRD FLOOR these might also be three bedroom flats with 2 floors.
So why no second floor? The second floor is missed because the houses on the first floor have stairs to go upstairs. This is really the 2nd level.
Hope that makes sense :)
It's a lift made for for basketball players
I might make the original one in Roblox
Is not bad
Part 2 plz

broken
Dun Dun DUUUUUUNNN!
That Pders lift is way better than the Bennie lift
Way better
Dude, you seriously need an optical image stabilisation on your camera for your shaky nervous hands. As much as the content is interesting, the camera work leaves much to be desired unfortunately.
Thanks for your comments. Yeah, I think what you mean is the "shaky" effect rather than the camera work? My camera work and angles are well thought out, and if I'm not happy then I go back and film it again. I'm very fussy that the camera is pointing the right way, film-pause-move-pause, far back enough, etc. I've been uploading since 2008 and this is my first comment regarding bad camera work. Hence here comes a long response :)
1:08 pause
1:12 - 1:16 pause so audience can focus on the subject
1:19 - again, pausing
1:23 pan back to overview shot and holding as steady as I can until 1:31
2:20 steady and pan back
2:49 slow panning shots
2:56 walking whilst filming, cant get much more steady without gimbal
2:58 until 3:07 this is very steady for a hand held camera
Camera shake, yes, I can see what you mean, nothing I can do though as this was as steady as my hand would go. However, my new camera has much better image stabilisation which works a lot better when held in the hand. The camera used here is about 3 years old.
It's very difficult to use a tripod, gimbal or other kit to perfect this, especially in public when I am not a resident in that block and my intention is to "film then leave asap"
mrmattandmrchay I understand. My criticism about the "camera work" didn't imply any of the editing work, both on site and in post-production, which is pretty good actually. The camera work in this video still might induce some "motion sickness" though, when panning too fast, changing angles too quickly, and "hunting" for the best angle.
But, hey, who am I to complain. We're lucky that you're willing to share your "elevator hunting" with us, and I thank you for that. As I said, the content is still very interesting nonetheless ! Cheers.
AlainHubert I try and film so that the audience is inside my camera, part of the experience. For example, when I consider the motor room visit, my eyes (or lens) pan up to the ladder then back down so the audience can see my intention both in text and visually though the camera lens.
I try not to keep the camera too still else I may as well just take photos. But I know what you mean and thanks for your comments.
You're always under pressure to "get going before someone comes". I don't know why, but I really like to be on my own when filming else my mind isn't on what I'm doing (or I feel a bit geeky!!!).
*umm so the lift what i didint wathc all im wathcing wehn im commanding*
2:47 ???
Cab. C go 7/b
Oh no modernized lift
Had
it works well for a 1970 lift
wa wa waaaaaaaaaaaaaa like waaaaa *crying* lol
Old lifts are the worst
No, it spreads the best things ever, HISTORY
Rahan omsi 2 content and more and are very original
Yeah
y are you playing around with elevators what if someone needed them for an emergency or something and you are playing with the elevator at the time
if it's an emergency you shouldn't use an elevator for it
That's a weak argument. Next time you use a lift, maybe you shouldn't, as there maybe an emergency there also? Maybe no-one should use lifts and we should dedicate them for emergencies only, in which case I would feel very sorry for people that are moving into a flat and will use the lift for 100x times longer than I did.
+mrmattandmrchay haha
