Montgomery (now Kone) Traction Elevators at the Driskill Hotel with JimLiElevators

[@musicmaker9727]

I just filmed an un-modded Montgomery G&P elevator just today. However, it is at the JCPenny Store at SouthPark Mall in Moline, IL. Almost every modded Montgomery I've been on was by KONE, except a couple that were done by Otis and by Schumacher.

Interesting, since Moline was the headquarters for Montgomery Elevator (now Kone US), and even though it's sad that Kone does a lot of the work in that city, that somehow makes sense, since they're headquartered there, as well as the ones who acquired Montgomery Elevators.

I think the mechanical indicator on the outside is actually designed to work digitally

Now an EcoSpace. Delayed starts before brake releases = EcoSpace

The main elevators that serve all 12 floors have been modernized by KONE with Innovation Prestige.

Exactly. I visited this hotel last December to see their big Christmas Tree, and noticed the main elevators were undergoing modernization. Also, are they still open, or are they now key-carded?

@@CenTexElevators489 I don’t know. I just saw it in a video and haven’t been in person. I do plan to go in person though to see the new elevators. Has the other lobby elevator been modernized as well?

[@CenTexElevators489]

@@nintendoisawesome It appears that all of the elevators have been modernized.

@@CenTexElevators489 That sucks. I did notice that in the new main elevators they had a white KSS 570 indicator as opposed to the usual Series 220 one like the one on the lobby elevator that was modernized a while back.

Uh, that hotel is haunted right ? 😬

Supposedly so, but it's just a myth.
