Salem Bottom Drive Winding Drum Traction Elevator (Trap Door/Sidewalk Elevator) AMAZING! 

It was awesome

I’m almost there 😀

@@DieselDucy100k congrats

​@@DieselDucyis that elevator actually still there

Apparently there are 2 of these sidewalk lifts at the Renaissance.

Elevate Mate - NationalElevator Originals Wonkavator

I hope to find another one.

Yes

Techmatt167 Of course.

It was epic

I couldn't agree more.

Agreed.

the vault was in the basement.

hey u never know the Hotel that I stayed in when I on my music trip it had a winding drum

Why were they discontinued?!.

Dante M they just stopped making them and replaced them with all modern stuff

That's ridiculous!!!

Dante M there's nothing we can do. They don't make stuff like this anymore.

Hien Nguyen Ground and Basement

So cool I did not know that. Bruh

MissouriElevators It's a Wonkavator

i would break into the bank to ride that

Or should I say Wonkavator?

That's right!

$9$

Thanks

The building is for sale now.

And a phone

The building is unoccupied now.

you can see the cut outs for the hinges from a gate that would match the railing on the right at about 6:38

That was the drum making that noise.

dominic arnone No I mean the AC buzzing noise. Some type of safety interlock being held open?

coondogtheman1234 it was making that same noise when the elevator was going up and down

55 years old.

Cool

Yep lol.

agreed. it could use a muffler.

Dante Trainmaster Motor is epic. Muffler aren't that needed.

Not the motor, I don't think. It's the brake coil. Since it -- for economical reasons -- has to be fed from AC, instead of DC, it tends to vibrate at the line frequency. And yes, it's quite loud as a result. Please note that, at the time this elevator had been installed, there was no cheap way of obtaining DC (direct current) from the AC (alternate current) mains. This could be accomplished in three ways: 1. Selenium Rectifiers -- weren't available for such high power demands; 2. Mercury Arc Rectifiers -- were too oversized for that purpose, cost only justified in electric locomotives and heavy industrial applications; 3. Motor-Generator sets -- too bulky, inneficient, noisy and expensive. Had high maintenance costs and produced carbon dust, due to brush wear. The solution was to use a shunt winding in the brake coil, which induced a phase shift in the brake coil and allowed it to operate directly from AC, with the added benefit of smaller windings, due to high inductive reactance.

If your upstairs then your fine but if your downstairs you may need to cover your ears

@@DieselDucy lol my apologies my son who is autistic has been watching your channel for so long now that the 9 was letting you know he appreciates and loves your videos. As do I, your channel is one of the only ones I let him subscribe too (my account is on his device so I can monitor what he does)

Thanks for making these videos. It makes my son so happy and excited just watching them

+Joshad Harding I love this elevator because the motor is interasting
