Vintage Schindler Traction Elevator | Skólavörðustígur 11, Reykjavík, IS

Описание: Awesome original vintage 1970s Schindler elevator with relay control and R-Series buttons! This thing is so awesome, aside from the lack of inner door, you can hear the relays chattering when you press a floor button repeatedly. I love the combination of red painted swing doors and dark wood colored car interior; it really makes the elevator screams 1970s. The fixtures are still in very good shape with buttons intact and fully functional floor indicators. And notice how the car light will automatically goes off when the door is shut? I believe it's an energy saving feature.

The old inspection certificate on the ground floor (not shown here) states the year as 1982, but I still count this as a 1970s elevator due to its design.
