I own a 1950 2-story building in Oxnard, CA 93030. It has an Otis water-hydrolic freight elevator in it. Doors on both sides downstairs, one side upstairs. Photos available.

Worked well until recently. Water tank started leaking. I have the following questions:

1. How does one fix the water tank? , or, can you direct me to a local person who could do this work? OR- would it be wise to allow a welder to remove the motor and pump, make a new tank, and replace motor and pump?

2. Can you direct me to a qualified local service person for ongoing maintenance and repairs? Or, how do I find someone?

3. Cylinder is leaking water. Could the right service person repair this, and is this expensive? Approx how much?

4. Generally, what does one pay to have an elevator like this updated to a modern passenger elevator?

5. Is there an organization that would want the old parts for posterity, if I can�t repair and maintain it?

Thanks
