Recently came across these two Otis units . Its been tricky working on these chasing wires.

The '51 is back in service and runs very good, it is in a residence, 3 stop. I have been able to study this one and compare to the other. Seems the transformer and rectifier have been updated.

The '57 is very similar but several more relay contactors, Just 2 stop. This one is not running yet, but its getting close. Original everything except maybe a capacitor on the back.

The good
-The phase monitor engages. transformer output is at 100v on each pole, the rectifier had output of 135v DC, Door Open and Door Close contacts work when manually pushed

Not good
-"C" contact wont make, but it has DC- 60, 60 , 130 across the bottom of the contactor. Even if I manually engage the "C" contactor nothing else reacts.
-The unit is between floors at the moment.
At a point of needing some type of wiring Diagrams or any input from the old school Techs
pictures coming..


The better the effort, the better the result.
