Gotta love them old independent elevators. Around here we have a ton of Salem and Monarch elevators. They're almost all geared overhead tractions with an accordion manual car gate and swing doors a constant pressure up/down button. A couple are basement winding drums. Have one in a co-op with oak rails. The thing is they were built so simply and robustly with maintenance every so often they'll last until the building falls over. No one enforces the 17.3 code around here either. If you can keep em running they can run like the day they were installed with no safety upgrades forever Essentially. Love working on them.
