Look on the controller for the type stamped on the data tag.
My guess it’s a Otis SOB…

I can tell you:
that its a slow moving car (~100FPM)
the capacity is anywhere from 1500-2000bs
I can tell you that it needs a worm gear packing asap due to the amount of gear oil on the side of the machine and the bottle in the background
the elevator is located around 104 Broadway NYC
and appears to still runs off the orignal othompson or otis contoller
What do you want to know?

The machine room floor needs to be cleaned and painted. Cable guards need to be installed. Looks like this unit has been neglected. I'd hate to see the cartop and pit.
