Title: Good news and a really bad mod of an ultra rare Orona lift! Let's start with the good news: EGTS introduced a new ultra cheap rail transport monthly subscription offer! For just $6, you can have unlimited access to all 2nd class trains plus all trams and metros that are owned by EGTS for a whole month. And for just $18, you get the same offer plus unlimited access to all 1st class EGTS-owned trains for an entire month! But for the bad news? Well, a 1997 Orona lift has been modded into a generic with Lester Controls logic! Brand: Orona. Year: April 1997. Modernized by Cuquin Mapiri Pelusin Tete (CMT) Lift Services Ltd in January 2026. Type: Dual-piston roped hydraulic with the motor room at basement floor. Fixtures: Unknown insanely rare 1990s Orona "square buttons" fixtures prior to OR96 (Now Dewhurst buttons, Lester Controls LCD displays and unknown US-style generic white arrow, possibly ACME or CE Electronics). Logic: Arca 1? (Now Lester Controls Almega 2). Speed: 1.3 m/s (Now 0.5 m/s). Voice: Older Drucegrove (Now Brian UK TTS). Doors: Fermator (Now Wittur Hydra Plus). Capacity: 1600 kg or 21 persons. Floors: 12 (B, G and then 1 to 10, previously labeled as -1, 0 and then 1-10 until the mod happened). Motor: GMV T4 submersible pump unit (Now Bucher Hydraulics submersible power unit). Starter type: Solid state with soft-starter. Maintainance company: CMPT Lift Services Ltd (Was Orona until Dec. 2025). Location: Undisclosed mixed-use office and residential building, El Garcia, ST. This building opened in May 1997. Welcome to one of the dumbest lifts mod ever: An ultra rare 1.3 m/s Orona HIGHdraulic lift has been modded a during the end of Jan. 2026 by CMPT with Lester and now, it only goes 0.5 m/s, takes a long time to charge, spends ages levelling and no more pre-doors. This lift was built in 1997 which is the year when Orona begun installing lifts in EG. That means this lift is one of the oldest Orona lifts in El Garcia and this lift had some super rare Orona square fixtures from around the mid 90s. These fixtures seem to be older than OR96 and Orona used them in El Garcia until they switched to OR96 in late 1997 or 1998 for EG installs. But yeah... This mod really sucks! The only good things about it are the goofy chimes, the goofy Brian UK TTS announcements and the sound of the new hydraulic lift motor which is ruined by an annoying loud fan! So, yeah, this is another really bad generic lift mod! Also, the fire alarm system used to be a Simplex 4100+ voice evac system with 4903 series mechanical horn strobes, electronic horn strobes, speaker strobes and remote strobes, installed in 1997 and updated in early 2012 with PyroStop low frequency sounders. But it has been replaced in Feb. 2023 with a rather bog-standard Notifier voice evac system. The HVAC system was a 1997 Mitsubishi system and has been completely replaced in Oct. 2024 with Kotori Minami garbage trash! The PC's were 1997 era Dell Latitudes and Optiplexes, replaced in the early 2000's with newer Dell Latitude and Optiplex models, then replaced again in late 2011 with Dell Latitude E6420 and Optiplex 390 SFF stuff, upgraded with SSDs and more RAM in the late 2010s and replaced in Oct. 2025 (because Microslop dropped Windows 10 support) with horrendous cheap HP 14s laptops with Intel Pentium Silver CPUs and only 8 GB of RAM with Windows 11 *skull emoji*! And guess what? Half of the laptops had their hinges snap off in January 2026 and they are being replaced with refurbished 2019 Lenovo ThinkPad T495 laptops from JoeTronicRefurb *insert another skull emoji*! These ThinkPad's have AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD and run Windows 11. And lastly the hand dryers were World Dryer Model RA Series (230 V 50 Hz version) from 1997, replaced in Feb. 2023 with horrible PHS Airstream Whisper hand dryers! So, yeah, another building in EG went downhill badly....
