Here is quite a scary Otis "Bitsa" service lift from 1977 - it is fully original apart from the buttons (and inner doors, I think originally this didn't have any), replaced again in the late '90s by Otis, but is still relay-controlled (you can tell as the call buttons flash when the lift is approaching, something these 1970's Bitsa lifts did). It has all the character you could possibly wish for... Very dark, grotty, loud motor, single speed (which means it jolts to a stop!) creaky swing doors, a glitchy display and bad levelling... I hope it stays original many years, I can remember this lift ever since I was little and I have it to thank for my interest in old lifts (as well as the main passenger lifts in this building which were 100% original from 1977 until they were modded by Otis with Gen 2 around 10 years ago!) For some reason the floor display is very glitchy indeed, it often loses its position, sometimes to such an extent that it shows floor numbers for floors that don't even exist in the building!
