RARE Hitachi Lifts - Fu Tsu Building

22 Mar 2024
This video will be the first in a series called the Hitachi Dynasty, which will feature 4 different places in Balestier with Hitachi's lifts, in order of oldest to newest.
To start, here are some 80s Hitachis that are mostly original. All they got was COP replacements, and the passenger lift also got its interior refurbished as well as the call button on level 1 replaced.
Amazingly, despite that, the logic and everything else has been preserved for 40+ years, and the lifts still run like new. I hope these do not get modernised soon!
In 2021, 2 people got busted for trying to film here, so I made my visit quick. Thankfully, the guard didn't care at all this time. I was in and out in like 5 minutes..
