Machine Room Tour! 1952 Fortuna Mek. Verksted winding drum traction freight elevators (modernized)

BIG THANKS to the kind employee for showing me the machine rooms! According to him, the building is from 1952.

Both elevators are built in 1952 by Fortuna Mek. Verksted and heavily modernized by Reber-Schindler (R-series) in the 1970s or 1980s with new relay controllers, motors, cabins, shaft doors and fixtures.

However, the winding drum drives are still original. Furthermore, a decomissioned original 1952 Fortuna shaft door can be seen in the video at 04:00 on the rear side of the shaft, revealing that the elevator used to have doors on both sides!

The right elevator has been modernized a second time - by Lift Tech - with a new digital controller, new shaft doors and new fixtures - including a floor indicator.
