Such a cool DOS-looking interface! No LEDs, no 7-segments.

I love mods that put in SCR drives instead of taking out the motors and putting in boring VF drives and AC motors. They sound really cool as well!

Not many still around. Less and less understand them. Thanks for watching.

@@OneDayWandersSCRs make amazing sounds!

Thats some Heavy Duty equipment right there. Very cool. Thanks for posting this.

Reminds me of the transmitter site at wrtn in Yonkers New york. We had black suit all over everything because of the arcing from the motor brushes on the elevator systems nearby.

Worm shaft immersed in oil is best solution for longevity, although the DIY oil collector is a must 😃 Sadly, manufacturers do not produce sturdy stuff anymore

Really nice triplex group! The controller system is fascinating, I really like the UI. Also having all the real time data directly on screen with so much info about I/O and even the voltage and current of the DC drive system is outstanding. I feel that most modern day controllers are no where near this convenient.

Thanks for the comment. They have a newer controller with a slick interface. I'll try to get some of it.

little bit obsolete configuration. i had seen many elevator machine rooms, but none of them had DC motors. each had 3 phase Induction motors with Windings 2 and 8 poles. (2 pole for fast level switching and 8 pole for the level correction) even the older ones from early 60.s. Last application of DC motors i had seen in Locomotives from 1991(class 163 of Czech Railways or Regiojet 162), or in a Paper Mills.

WOW ! ! ! I very Much Liked This Video Thank You .

Thanks for watching. I didn't expect anyone would find them.

I'm currently working on adding realistic(ish) elevators to a mod for a free game (Minetest) here. At the moment, mostly for testing, I have it using a few clips of the motor/brake/contactor noise from this video for a few sound effects. The total usage is six short clips of audio only, the longest one being about 4 seconds long. If this sort of usage is acceptable to you, would it be possible to get a statement (a quick reply to this comment will do) stating that it can be used (and distributed, and that other people receiving said audio clips can do the same)? If you'd rather it not be used and distributed in this way, just let me know and I'll make sure it gets replaced with something else. Thanks!

That worm gear looks pretty worn out.

Just a bit. 😆

Sounds just like a Low-rise Otis Lexan elevator at 24 Greenway Plaza

Thank you for the detailed video! 👍

Would have been something to see the old Haughtons

I didn't either. In 1996 they were already escentric controllers from Texas. BAXCO. I believe the original was a model 5 evc.
