thanks broke. yes it certainly looks different than the normal 6850 otis selector with drop down levelling ring. i think in melbourne the highest building with this 260vip control is about 25 floors, when the higher buildings came on the new electronic gear was up and about (401's)with other companies also having their own designs. so was this type of selector the lastest type?
it certainly sounds like otis redesigned the action of the pall
magnet stopping. either way the engineering of them is astounding and its no wonder these lifts are now getting modded as the skillset of adjusting them is just about gone including at otis. i am lucky as i had an old adjuster to teach me the finer points. the company i did my training with eliminated selectors in the late 60's and used relay logic instead(which is great for putting in car/landing calls)
