Its not a mixture, it was fully modernised by KONE, but they left the Otis tag on the floor which is weird because its now a Kone. But there could be a chance the logic is original because at 2:51, it levels the same way that the other Otis 2000VF elevators were, but I don't know if the motor is original. Here is what it used to be like and its floors.

i wish we could turn back time, the old one was better. I wish I could have saw where it opened on Riverside level, but it doesnt serve that anymore. Level 0 is actually Minster Street. The fan makes it sound like its at the Riverside. As the new floor numbering is this: P2 (formerly 2) = Parking level 2 / Parking 2 P1 (formerly 1) = Parking level 1 / Parking 1 2 (formerly U) = Town Walk / Upper Mall 1 (formerly L) = Holy Brook Walk / Lower Mall 0 (formerly R) = Riverside / Riverside If you think of the riverside of The Oracle and the lifts that serve Riverside level, this lift is really far down (near to the Broad Street exit and entrance lifts), so I wonder how far down the Riverside would be And what it looks like from there? But today is 2022 not 2015 or so sadly.
@@glat15 same but 0 is Minster Street (I think thats where L / L2 / Upper Holy Brook Was?). And I wonder why it cant even serve the riverside now because it still goes far.
not quite, the other fixtures with the light in the middle is a 4th gen monospace. it used to be a 1998 Otis 2000VF modernised by Kone in 2018 to a KSS-280.
i said monotized because back then i thought that you thought that was what "modernised" meant, so i did it to be hip with you. feels cringe to listen to me say that.

Generations are a made up term, it’s the motors that are different not the generations lol
