ORIGINAL: '68 - 72 Burlington Dover Hydraulic Elevator - Monroe Lecture Center [Hofstra University]

Untouched! Bumpers! Even the PI works! Wow. This is not your everyday find! (It wasn't the only one here either!) For a decades old unmodernized Burlington this one is in very good shape. Very good hydraulics, smooth, and not very slow. Had trouble leveling on 2 due to a insufficient amount of hydro oil, but casual maintenance should fix that. Leveling was also a bit troubled, but that's probably due to the oil issue. Otherwise this is just a typical example of Dover in their halcyon days. An excellent installation.

On a small side note, it appears that Dover had dibs on the original "retard" controls. Just look at the call buttons =]
