It must have had an overhaul at some point.........
There are 7 floors, so it is cable, and it has been maintained and repaired as needed through the decades. The cab isn't the standard size so we will have to have the replacement custom built. The identical building next door replaced their elevator a couple of years ago and I believe they went without elevator service for 3 months. I don't know if the other 2 buildings on the cul de sac have replaced theirs yet.
