Now I see why these things are getting modernized, unfortunately. This is the vintage, yet neglected Otis Traction Elevator, in the Blue Building at Newton Wellesley Hospital, Newton, Massachusetts.
It ran okay. Some minor leveling issues, and the start and stops are a bit uneven. This one needs help.
