Hi There, You should contact your local inclinator dealer, they make a great residential elevator for over 50 years, get the higher capacity unit with 3/8 ropes. They have broken rope safties instead of gov. I you just want the machine you might just but that from them also or go to your local bearing shop to buy a machine. Most amusment parks use the euro drive machine, or windsmith.You can also just get what you have rebuilt because its easier on you to reinstall,you wont have to drag around a machine shop with you to fit and reinstall diffeant equipment. The real test is to find some repair shops that can hob ring gears and make worms if needed for a reasonable cost, if they can do that they can do the rest. there are many shops back east and in the north west.
