Amazing 1954 OTIS elevator action! With machines!

(11-9-2017) Got a tour in an undisclosed location today where I got to see these amazing elevators. A full tour of the facility will be uploaded in the future. Here is Jerrad’s channel. / jerradcampbell74 CONNECT WITH ME!

Awesome. I like the old elevators that best. I lived here during the flood of 85

[@TransitUSA]

AMAZING relays! Another vintage gem on camera!

[@stphinkle]

Amazing elevators. The building looks like an office building or perhaps even a hospital.

[@DieselDucy]

It used to be a bank.

[@williamscoufaras7045]

The 54 Otis was awesome! And who knew there was a DOVIS elevator here with custom impulse

[@BuildingToursForLife1660-4]

EPIC Elevator y'all with EPIC MOTOR Y'ALL I wish the other OTIS Elevator wasn't decommissioned and was still running and working

[@ElevationStationProductions]

Custom impulse should be brought back tbh

[@retroolschool]

3 vintage elevators in one spot + motor rooms, how cool is that !

[@DieselDucy]

It was an amazing visit! :)

[@SamSitar]

dover impulse always looks great.

[@FloridianElevators]

Tell me about it!!!!! This is AWESOME!!!!

[@FloridianElevators]

AMAZING ELEVATORS!!!!! And wow, you were excited at the beginning!!!!

[@jerradcampbell74]

This is your best video yet ! Thank you so much for sharing . ;)

[@DieselDucy]

+Jerrad Campbell Without your kindness this video would’ve not been possible

[@upanddownadventures]

I found out Black Dog Salvage in Roanoke, VA got an antique caged elevator car within the last month. They may still have it, but I can't say for sure.

[@CenTexElevators489]

Amazingly nice elevators, and in the case of the Otis that is still original 63 years later, it sure is amazing but not surprising that the controller and power unit survived a big floor. Try that with a modern elevator that uses a microprocessor controller.

[@robfassi3297]

That was nice of him showing you the elevators

[@CAelevators.]

What an awesome building!

[@williamscoufaras7045]

The Motor on the 1954 Otis sounds relatively quiet

[@shmulstvgone3169]

That COP is actually the more rare version of custom Dover Impulse.

[@jasonsadventures64]

That poor little old elevator. The 2nd Otis was great though. All original. Just the way it should be.

[@matzeknoob3688]

Very very cool Video!

[@blueauraretriever]

OLD OTIS = AWESOME :) FRIRND

[@midtownbrian]

That was amazing.

[@Bombiedude.]

9:46 in theory that tiny little elevator could be restored since the cab and whats left of the machinery and the cables look in good shape but that would unfortunatelly involve modding it and buying all new equipment for it since the motor and controller were ripped out and it would need a good clean up job

[@Bombiedude.]

I did like the defunct one because it was tucked away in a wierd spot I always like little tucked away elevators like that I think its really cool

[@DieselDucy]

Me too

[@christopher-2000]

cool 1950 Otis lift dieselducy

[@jacksonslaterelevatorraila6444]

next time I'm up I would love if he could show me this.

[@DieselDucy]

Let me know when u are in Roanoke again and I will see what I can do.

[@jacksonslaterelevatorraila6444]

your always my best bud :)

[@williamscoufaras7045]

Beno would love this location!

[@williamscoufaras7045]

The 3rd elevator needs to be completely replaced unfortunately. The cab might need to be rebuilt as well

[@Bombiedude.]

I do like on the modern one how they kept the original otis flyball safety govenor on it

[@DieselDucy]

Me too

[@Bombiedude.]

I actually had no idea the man you were with was the owner of the building

[@DieselDucy]

Yep 👍

[@Bombiedude.]

On the tiny elevator I actually never knew that winding drum elevators were available with automatic doors maybe that was part of the mod you said they did to it since the other one was added later and that one was probably always automatic since that was the more common thing during the 1950s

[@DieselDucy]

possibly.

[@fled011]

Hi I love elevators

[@Clement-xy9iv]

Amazing! Thanks Andrew! I just would like to ask you if I can extract some sounds from your video for the Skyscrapersim game.

[@DieselDucy]

SURE!! be my guest! just please give me credit.

[@Clement-xy9iv]

Ok thanks you very much! Is a "readme.*" file, good for you ?

[@elevatorgaming6712]

The 3rd one is the oldest elevator. I think it was built in 1907.

[@Wall-eandthederp]

Hi I’m new I sub to you and good work

[@DieselDucy]

Thanks!

[@Wall-eandthederp]

DieselDucy you are welcome

[@elevatorgaming6712]

When was the 3rd elevator built?

[@OPG2711]

That first elevator is a ThyssenDover mod.

[@htthow2tutorials34]

Who has fear of going in a elovator/lift? Reply!

[@BCsVators]

👍

[@metamorphic_archives]

Can someone tell mi if where this is

[@Elevatorsbyelevatorfan]

I’m not to much a fan of old elevators but they are interesting

[@DieselDucy]

This thing is beautiful.

[@williamscoufaras7045]

If the 3rd elevator gets completely replaced or if the future of the building is to be demolished (which I hope not) try to get the buttons from that elevator and the C O P. Well if the whole building was to be demolished I would get all the buttons from all the elevators

[@stvpls]

can he get the entire car?

[@williamscoufaras7045]

stv pls I don't think so. If he could, that would be very tough. You would have to dismantle it or knock down the shaft very carefully possibly to get it. But generally when elevators get completely replaced, they are demolished from inside the shaft. So I don't think he would get it. But hey, we can all dream right?!😂

[@williamscoufaras7045]

stv pls It would not be an easy job at all. You would have to get someone very professional to do that

[@unpreppedprepper2710]

What is the purpose of this black device at 1:45 with the 2 turning spheres and the spring?

[@FranzFerdinandVIII]

that is an Otis governor, which limits the speed the elevator can travel.

[@unpreppedprepper2710]

@@FranzFerdinandVIII Thx!!! :-)

[@OPG2711]

BAKELITE OTIS FIXTURES!

[@DieselDucy]

They are amazing!

[@shmulstvgone3169]

Also, congrats on 40K subscribers! :D

[@FloridianElevators]

Definitely one of my favorite fixtures!!! I prefer them over Lexan and the Newer Lexan Black Buttons!!!! But those are Awesome too!!!

[@square2037]

wait 900000 pounds?
