Was nice of them to let you operate. She did a good job helping you film too. Thank you for sharing

[@NeilPrasad_1905]

Really beautiful. Even the operator did a good job with the video

[@JimLiElevators]

Just wait until you see the next manually controlled elevator in another store not far from this one! The similar thing happened as well. On top of that, I’ve even became friends with a few of the staff members in that other store as well!

Awesome Traction Elevator

[@FloridianElevators]

Glad you got to see this thing! The operator who was running this elevator the day i went barely spoke English/understood what i was saying, but at least he was nice enougn to let me ride it

[@JimLiElevators]

Do you remember how many days either before or after I went on this thing? Because from it looks like is that people switch shifts each time is likely why. Not sure if you also know this as well, Julien, but I’m coming to New York City on April 6th. Speaking of changing operators, the operator who helped me run the camera was literally called into a meeting right after I finished recording, so it’s pretty obvious.

[@JimLiElevators]

SoHo District in New York City. I just fixed the description.

Its elevator is...strange? (I don't know how to define)

[@JimLiElevators]

It’s an old piece of historical vintage elevator from 1900.
