Please stop talking like that! It's messing with my plan. I was hoping I could retire and come work for one you guys as a parts runner!

Bad thing is I'm only 52!

Didn't Otis start this whole mess about trying to prevent other companies from working on their equipment? I can remember when we had only one or two Otis and Dover cars that we maintained in this region, and they were just a couple of hydros.... Greed got the best of everybody.

ABE,
Thanks for the assist with the phrase "suspension traction media". The abbreviation of "STD" was stuck in my head like a bad song. I knew that defiantly meant something else!

STM STM STM,

God, I hope I don't call them STDs...

I really don't know who started it. I remember at Westinghouse we never lost a service contract. Otis took care of Otis and Westinghouse took care of Westinghouse! That was it! One thing did change! The USA doesn't make elevators anymore!

Halfpick,
It's almost impossible to find something that is created from conception to finished product here in the States. The world is a much smaller place then it use to be!

Unfortunately I can not speak eloquently on this subject. I will say it pains me to watch the changes we have observed, the current environment we forge our lives in and what I am imagining the world in which the younger generation, such as my nieces & nephews will have to make thier way!

Sorry I woundered away from the trail a bit!


Make good choices,

JKH

We are independent and Unitec will sell you what you need. But we stay away from this stuff --- we'd love to have it but it isn't worth going to your customer and saying, "uh we're struggling here."

That's absolutely the worst. "I'm not sure what's wrong Mr. Customer...why it won't do this or that. I'll have to get the Big Guns for this one" or some such dance, only to discover (credit to Mr. B. Gun) two 12 volt batteries behind some secondary panel, buried beneath the EQ box in the controller, are below the operational threshold, and THAT'S why it wouldn't run. DAYUM! We have a number of these type units and we're all challenged (well...except the "Guns") when we have to take calls on these types of equipment...even our own "new" stuff can hammer us. Personally, the MRL is not one of my fave's. Old school here. Oh yeah...I almost forgot, Viva Internacional de Elevadores S.A. de C.V.! Ha!

we have some of these in our area. The belts make so much noise. We wipe them down but it doesn't last long. They run fairly well though. Most of the time!!


When every circuit board is made. They put a little magic smoke inside.

Who has any info on the pulse system? What is minimum wear on the flat belts? how long should they last? How often should they be set on safetys? I know alot of procedures I'm seeing and hearing about on the Gen 2's are very destructive testing. Any info would be helpful.thanks
