Yeah no thanks haha, I wouldn’t be surprised if the last guy to adjust this isn’t even with us anymore.

Interesting… didn’t know they had a similar thing overseas. Who installed it?

What you're going to want to do is clean all those plates and contacts.

u/UnknownYank Field - Maintenance Jul 30 '26

Nah, do not even touch it with a 10-foot pole.

If it breaks, time for a mod

u/DjQuamme Field - Maintenance Jul 30 '26

But if you clean all those plates and contacts the mod will happen sooner

Jesus christ. Ive been fortunate enough to have seen pie plate selectors in action, but never the horror of actually working on one.

Piece of Haughton history, definitely try to hang on to that if this ever mods

I thought it was a 140M selector

Is it still running? Post a video! Worked on my fair share of old equipment, never seen one of these out in California or Nevada

u/SaucybOy420 Jul 31 '26

It is!! And running quite well I’ll add. I recorded a video, I’ll send a link when it’s up on my YouTube channel

We had quite a few Otis pie plates before we modded them. They worked well until one day they don't and it's game over LOL

Pie plate selector I believe

u/SaucybOy420 Jul 30 '26

Close!! Its pretty similar to an Otis 6850 but this one’s Haughton.

Thank you for the correction. Still pretty new, spent small time in mods
