Taos Ski Lifts

As a new series of Remontees-Mecaniques Taos Ski Valley reports is being published by user rodo_af, we are looking for some help with several of the ski lifts. As far as we can tell, all of the lifts are Poma or Stadeli (besides Pioneer, Yan), so the manufacturers is not a problem. However, the years are more tricky. Here is what I have so far:
Lift 2 = 1995
Lift 8 = 1992
Lift 4 = 1991
Lift 1 = 1989
Lift 7 = 1984
Lift 6 = 1976
Lift 5 = 1973
Old Lift 4 = 1971-1991 (Pullman-Berry)
Lift 3 = 1970
Old Lift 2 = 1965-1995
That leaves us with question marks on Lift 7A (relocation?) and Lift 9 Rueggli. Does anyone have any information on these lifts? Also, feel free to share any interesting tidbits on the other lifts as well.
Thanks in advance for any help!

The Rueggli report has been published, but without all of the information: https://translate.go...html&edit-text=

I herd the Poma Platter was a hell of a ride for sure. As was Mickey driving a cat tow. Crazy to think you could build a lift for that price when they now ring in at $1.5M Plus. It's hard to accomplish much for $52,000 now. We built the Pioneer lift for somewhere around $400,000 in 2012.
