What is original:

Cabs

Counterweights

guide rails

generators

possibly cables

Everything else was REPLACED.

I'd say the cables were replaced around 4 or 5 times. 2 or 3 if they were stingy.

How did bad modded is?

@ANDREWWALLFORD123

Well, the 40's or so mods aren't so bad. Those were simply installed to make the lifts automatic.

The 21'st century panel doesn't look like it belongs. It doesn't match the style of the lifts, and they replaced the motors with gearless traction, which at least makes these more comfortable.

[an65001]

@georgef551 I believe the controllers were also replaced.

@an65001

I think the only thing original are the cabs, and maybe the counterweights, and guide rails.

[ANDREWWALLFORD123]

WOW! That amazing is all bit sharp colour of those elevator isn't! Awesome.

@ANDREWWALLFORD123

I like these too, even if they were badly modded.

LOVE those generators.

[georgef551]

@suzzex

So do I. They are a bit deafening, though.

@georgef551 The generator is original.
