[@evana6425]

A little bit imagine if we heard the dieselducy voice in actual life that will be so funny and amazing at the same time

[@alec4672]

One of the better modernizations I've seen.

[@evana6425]

Keep old things and fix them

[@ElevatorsInternational]

I apsulutly love those elevators

[@striatogatto]

Beautiful elevator!

[@idl3k_elev]

Beautiful elevators! It would be nice if the Innovation buttons are replaced with CJ Anderson fixtures for a more historic touch.

[@louisworld6008]

Well, These elevators have actually been modernized by Otis partnered up with CJ Anderson. The side elevator is under modernization but all of them are CJ Anderson :)

[@rayfridley6649]

I've seen those elevators several year ago at the Hotel Roanoke. AT that time they had the Otis picture frame touch buttons on their car control panels. Those were good buttons that would last forever. Why were they replaced?

[@TechNerdNolan]

Ray Fridley the hotel thought they wouldn’t last I guess

[@austrianelevators696]

Very nice elevators👍

[@MonsterMidi]

Did you go looking for Room 237? Place looks like the Overlook Hotel from The Shining! I was expecting to see those creepy twins around the corner wearing the blue dresses!

That like sigma cab elevatro

[@mitchellarmstrong3759]

7 was locked because it’s the governor’s suite.

[@MrOrthopedia]

I thought I heard Dieselducy.

[@alexanderwed6587]

Wow!!! That is so amazing and beautiful

[@elevatingohio975]

Again. These are Innovation Mod.

[@ANDREWWALLFORD123]

Pretty incredible this elevator, Hmm! What's wrong button number 7th floor is???

[@louisworld6008]

I think 7th floor was locked

[@ANDREWWALLFORD123]

Dawn!! :(@@louisworld6008

[@louisworld6008]

@@ANDREWWALLFORD123 Yep! :( I think it was locked as it was filmed at night so I think there’s a set time for the 7th floor which explains why there’s a keycard in elevator #2 so it’s unlocked in the daytime but at night they lock it so the only way to access the level is to use the keycard.

Is it old?

[@smrtc651productions]

yes

[@bsvenadam]

Now is modernized with CJ anderson

[@icecolespears]

Those elevators were modernized

Hollywood tower hotel: opened 1917 closed 1939 reopened 1994

[@xfactor4598]

Based on the Otis Globe logo and the double branded threshold, I would say a 1940 vintage.

[@Italia_trasporto_vario]

Second elevator talks & rings like moderns... NICE...

[@boiii3productions945]

Simply Transport its a series 1 but they kept the old fixtures and indicators

[@BuildingToursForLife1660-4]

@@boiii3productions945 this was originally an OTIS Series 1? If not then what were the original buttons?

[@Railhog2102]

These lifts used to be manually controlled years ago as you can tell by the cab interior.
