Otis lifts - Blks 35 and 20 Macpherson

Описание: 0:00 - Blk 35 Circuit Road
2:26 - Blk 20 Balam Road

Filmed a few Otis lifts in the area, before they were all shut down for replacement. Maintenance was not up to par here, with many of the Otis lifts exhibiting ride quality issues such as croaking noises, to having rough doors and barely legible indicators. At the start, I didn't get it on camera, but Lift A of Blk 35 tried to come up to answer my call, only for it to suddenly stop between floors. It then had to return to the lowest floor before entering service again. Despite this block and 36 next door originally having two lifts, they still had a third lift added in the 80s likely to cope with residents' demand. Also, Block 20 had not one, but two Fujitecs added in the 80s! I filmed one of the lifts that replaced an additional Fujitec here, and this was also the same one mailerdiablo filmed with a faulty indicator many years ago. Its top floor indicator also displays a message to keep the lift clean, rather than indicating the lift letter itself.
