USFK Experiencing Elevator Issues at Camp Humphreys

It seems like an easy fix to use South Korean made parts to fix these elevators until the US sourced parts arrive:

Repairs to a dozen elevators out of order at Camp Humphreys, some in housing areas, are delayed by a three-to-five-month parts backlog, according to a post on the base Facebook page Tuesday.

The 351 elevators at Humphreys must conform to U.S. safety codes, which differ from South Korean codes, so repairs to the malfunctioning 12 may not include locally sourced parts, garrison commander Army Col. Seth Graves told Stars and Stripes by email Wednesday.

The Army Corps of Engineers is considering a waiver for local codes to obtain the necessary parts from a South Korean supplier, Graves said.

Junk construction with little oversight. Heck, one building was found to have lead paint on all the railings; where do you find lead paint these days? (China I know)

Just shut the elevators down and knock 10 minutes off PT.

1961 Mooneys were still made with lead-based paint. My uncle has one (original paint job, of course) and when we wax that thing, the shine and luster is like showroom new. I’m totally sold on lead-based paint. My uncle is the envy at his near-Houston airport. Younger pilots used to having the newest/fanciest everything can’t believe this 60 y/o Mooney has a cherry paint job.

Coincidence or one person using multiple identities?
