AMAZING Old Gated ABIS Elevator - Rua do Cruxifico 76, Lisbon, PT

Amazing antique gated elevator somewhere in the Chiado district of Lisbon, believed to be from the 1930s or maybe older! It is made by a local company called ABIS which I couldn't find any information about it on the internet. The buttons look like they've been replaced, and apart from the addition of weight sensor (judging by the weight indicator on the wall) the rest appears to be original. Totally awesome, and an unexpected find in Lisbon!

The light will goes off when the elevator is not used, and it's the opposite when it's being used or one of the gates is left open. For some reason pressing a button while the elevator is moving will cause the light will go off. The printed sign on the wall means to close the door again after using the elevator, otherwise it won't move.
