2 OTIS Europa 2000 Lifts with Gamma drive in Thun, Switzerland

Timestamps: 0:00 intro 0:22 normal ride 4:11 motor room 7:05 car top / lift shaft These lifts are situated in an office building with apartments on the top floor. The building was constructed in the early 90s and features some nice architecture from that time. The lifts are still original and also have their original drives. The Gamma L drives manufactures by Ascentronic for Otis are phase-fired controllers and produce a really nice sound when on slow speed. Overall a really nice set of 30 year old lifts, although a speed of 1.6m/s would have been favourable for this amount of floors in an office building.
