Chestnut Hill: =BEAUTIFUL= Montgomery Vector Traction Elevators @ Atrium Mall

These are ALL FOUR Montgomery Vector Traction Elevators, in the Atrium Mall, Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. (It is it's own town.)
These are BEAUTIFUL elevators! Too bad it's too dark to enjoy them, but once you get into the mall lighting (especially in daylight), the details are that much better. These are a MUST-RIDE if you're in the area.
They are fairly silent, and might be a tiny bit jumpy at startup, but run flawlessly, otherwise. One has dead floor counters, two work, and one has a fully-lit display, where you can tell which phosphors got a lot of use (Burn-In).
We do get a good mall view on the way down in the 2'nd lift, a good view of the cab on the mall stretch, but only one of these didn't have a working door-close button, and that one also didn't pre-door at any degree.

nostalgia...spent my childhood at this mall

Another Vector in decent shape. Good!

@TheElevatorChannel It seems Monty isn't big anywhere, except up here. There's tons of them, and Vectors are a dime a dozen. As I've said a few times, in my general area where I live, there's no such thing as Schindler, except for the Westy mod downtown.

@TheElevatorChannel Vectors seem to survive here. Only one I may know of getting modded, was the Mall one at Emerald Square. The mall isn't as big as it appears. What you saw, was about 80% of it. It's about 30 stores total, including 3 restaraunts. After riding the elevators and escalators, I was done looking around in less than 10 minutes. That small.

@jimster586 I was surprised, especially since they serve the Parking Deck as well.

@Balarick You need a new camera for stuff like elevators. I'm sure Flip UltraHD's are getting cheaper now, since there's very few left. They were lower in price a month ago.

[@georgef551]

@cannycart That would explain the floor counters on a couple not working right. :)

These may be maintained by Kruppy. Kruppy uses Janus sensors too.

@georgef551 At only 205,000sf of GLA and anchorless except for an awkward Borders, Atrium Mall is a brilliant example of how a small vertical mall can can feel much larger than it is. The shifting floorplates and prominent elevator core definitely help to accentuate this vertical experience. Atrium is only now starting to slowly lose its strong grip in the retail climate of MetroWest as it continues to lose major retailers.

very dark on level b. they are square. my camera would be blind in there. preedoor is fun. nice view of the mall interior. "George likes filming elevators." at mall floors my camera should work. du bois library elevators are somewhat similar. #3 might be a bit loose. my camera is conspicuous. who should i ask to film in malls? passengers add to the videos. cool mirror act.

[@mbtandelevators5755]

This mall got torn down :(

[@georgef551]

Actually, the mall was gutted, and the elevator are still there. (Seen construction video on TV).

[@cannycart]

@georgef551 Exactly :D
