Destroyed Schindler 330a Hydraulic Elevator @ The Fairmont Parking Garage - Fairmont, WV

(8-5-21) This elevator definitely makes my top list of most vandalized elevators. Two indicators inside the car are missing, the normal PI is hanging by all the wires, and the second car panel doesn't even work. Despite the poor cosmetic condition, this elevator actually runs very well.

I loved Andrew’s sarcasm when he posted this!

:P

This takes vandalized Schindlers to a WHOLE new level.

[@stlelevators]

Haha yeah

[@elevexplorer64]

Whoever is vandalizing this thing must have something against Schindler 330A elevators.

[@stlelevators]

That or they really want 330a buttons

[@ElevatorsInternational]

Wow! This elevator sounds like it runs well. But almost everything is vandalized in one way or another.

[@stlelevators]

They need the VR buttons here for sure :P

you should come back in a couple of weeks and see how it is doing

I would but it's not easily accessible for me.

Hopefully they will replace it with Schindler 5500

[@neaelevator]

So vandalizing a Schindler hydro actually takes out all of the popping and creaking sounds that they normally have. LOL For a parking garage one that ran extremely well.

Haha. Just because the fixtures are falling off doesn't mean the elevator has to run poor!

The garage should’ve went with VR fixtures. And this elevator reminds me of the Dover that The Elevator Channel filmed at the country club, that had the indicator basically destroyed.

VR fixtures would have been a LOT better here.

It would be best if that HT Indicator part is ready for you to take it to the elevaTOURS Elevator Museum as part of an elevator parts collection lol

[@stlelevators]

That is something we don’t have yet

[@idl3k_elev]

They should've gone with the Vandal Resistant HT instead! Standard VR is definitely *not* the best choice for vandalism risk environments like parking garages like this. At least whoever ruined that poor floor indicator didn't smashed it.
