This is definitely a unique pair of Dovers. I’m impressed

Neat that both operating panels have stop switches.

Floor 1 is gone? Sounds like there's some history that needs to be told there. :)

A and D

I was on that Elevator

It looked much better when it was original, but they could’ve done worse. At least Innovation Universal fixtures are OK (I believe they’re based on Dover’s original Traditional fixtures). Seems to ride nicely, but I bet the old one had a more fun ride. The doors should’ve stayed blue outside. Why does everything new have to be ugly neutral colors?? Modernized by Thyssen Krupp, but no distinctive Dover chime.

At the end of your video can you please show inside the elevator machine room if it’s open?

Interestingly, this is top-drive. Very rare for a hydraulic, but it’s indeed top-drive. I was just there today, and the machine room is upstairs.

Basically at my former high school, the outer indicator number shows on all floors instead of the primary floors probably an Otis series 4 but with a series 5 indicator inside.

Nice Elevator! What year was it installed?

Uh oh! That was an up chime on the second floor! At least the scenic view isn’t entirely useless.

I quite like TK, but it’s ugly (as you said, they should’ve made the side walls glass), and has absolutely no right nor reason to be MRL. In other words, I don’t like this one at all.

2024 UPDATE: Upon further investigation, the Gold's building is being converted to a Hampton Inn, not apartments.

This is original from 2015/2016.

I was there today. Starts were often accompanied by loud thuds, it occasionally rattled (which is a lot for a hydraulic), stops were sudden, and it was really slow, even for a hydraulic. It’s tired. Interesting chime. Not a TK chime.

Abell.

These ones have been modded by KONE. They are no more

As of about a month ago, these are now being modded by KONE. I’m working on getting parts from here to send to DieselDucy

Original from 2013.

This is actually an original custom 330A, there’s more of these here

Looks like a Montgomery A-series mod!!

It’s rare to find Montgomery elevators nowadays!! Especially the original ones

The other day, I went to take some rides on these and film them, but after it stopped on the 5th floor without opening the doors (had to press the button myself), I cancelled the rest. They were rattling around pretty badly, and weren’t about to die with me in them.

Epic Monty!!

Nice motor!!

Epic Motor!!!!!

That’s a great motor.

I wish they’d used a physical bell. They’re clearly custom. They should’ve.

I wish I’d managed to film them when they were still original (I didn’t even know what elevator filming was at the time). The doors still close as soon as they are legally allowed to (three seconds) after opening them, like an ADA-compliant Westy, and they’re still labeled as Westinghouse. They also don’t ride all that well; they rattle and shake a bit (I was there tonight). Sometimes there’ll be a slam when the doors open. Also, SCC had better have a very good reason for not having that clock anymore. Also, does Park & Go realize these are city owned garages with public access? A certain sign seems to suggest otherwise.

Have you ever managed to get the other one? Last I knew, it had the older Dover Impulse fixtures (with some blue button labels)

This has held up very well. Still looks pretty new like it was when I went there in 2014.

Man, I remember they were getting unreliable toward the end, but I still miss them.

what source do you use?

100 percent Dover.

MEI mod?

It’s really nice to still see some vintage ones in operation!

Thet really need to stop installing EcoDiscs. Ideally, that would mean installing proper machine roomed traction elevators (especially preferable with more than four levels) or hydraulics. If they insist on MRL traction, at least put in something like a ThyssenKrupp Synergy!

These ride surprisingly smoothly, but why the hell would you replace a machine roomed traction with an MRL?? Also, definitely don’t do more than one garage in one day during office hours, or even just after. They don’t like it (found that out the hard way). Plus, it was a really nice vintage Westy before.

Generic and boring, sadly, but I do quite like the yellow floor indicator.

I went to film these earlier tonight, as I was in the KRH/Lied Center area. This one’s been modernized (honestly needed as these were death traps way too often), and the other one’s in the process. I’m kind of sad, but not as much as I am about some others. I do wish they weren’t maintained by Kone, though.

Very sad, but I’m glad I was able to ride it before this happened

Nervous about when Kimball Hall reopens.

I need to take a visit sometime. Preferably on a weekday so I can also get that non-tower hydraulic if it’s still running

Yay, you got the one I wanted.

Probably a originally a DMC. TKE is recommending building owners with a DMC (came out in 1985) to upgrade as the parts for DMC boards are few and far between.

That's creepy
