Andy Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Below is the very Lister Elevator boxed, theres often a playworn unboxed model kicking about on ebay but Ive never seen a boxed one, anyone have an idea on the value of it boxed? I was thinking ?200+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGEL FORD Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I've still got mine from boyhood (first one) but the box is in bits. I wasn't impressed with the speed of the" belt" so plugged it into the mains ( NOW CHILDREN- DO NOT DO THIS!!!) & of course it went bang not faster as I'd hoped! I wrote to Britains & complained the motor had packed up & they sent me a new motor,still installed & working last time I tried it about 20 yrs ago.

Andy Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 Great Stuff! I think a working model such as an elevator is something Britains could benefit from out of todays market!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I made one from a fyson elevator many moons ago, I'll try and find it for you to have a laugh at. From memory it used to fill a Class silage traier with corn in about 15 seconds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tractorman314 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I bought my Lister Elevator (boxed) from G&M in 1995 for ? 85.00. I have only had it out of the box once , only problem with it was 1 of the motor contacts was broken,so left it alone. I doubt it would work , but that doesn't matter ,just nice to have one. The box was also in good condition, from what i remember, as its been packed away in the loft for about 8 years.I must look it out and check it over. tractorman314.

FB Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 FP have you found that pic yet?. I tried to make mine work using a lego motor...wasnt powerful enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Try using a Scalextric motor, instead of the Lego one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 have you tried it?. What one would you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 No I havn't tried it, but most scalextric motors are the same, try an older one out of a Escort or Fiesta. Might be a bit fast, but still, nothing better than getting the bales in quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 yeah i could see that now, fyson parked 100m away from barn, bales loaded up and launched! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCC Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 How about a K'nex one. I've seen them turning those big K'nex ferris wheels so it should handle an elevator. Not sure on the size though maybe a bit large for an elevator unless you hide it ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 I've found the elevator, i'll email you the picture for you to post up! cheers FP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 NC how could you hide a bloody big K'Nex motor on a little Lister elevator :D But a rag over it and hope no-one see's it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Use your brain . Hide it under a barn or stack a load of bales round it. ;) It's better than having a supercharged bale cannon like your idea with the scalextric :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
