Beautiful classic building and elevator! Great job!

[@TheElevatorChannel]

Very well put together, and nice elevators

[@SamSitar]

+The Elevator Channel yes elevator i agree. dieselducy is very informative.

[@charlieesb]

This is an amazing elevatouring congratulations 👏🍾🎊🎉🎈

[@isaac24]

LOVE the sound of that Isis startup!

[@megarollxrgmbroadcasting91]

What’s halarious to me is how the back of his shirt says “elevator fan” and his back is towards the entrance of the elevator, so at 2:40, that lady just witnessed a random guy with a shirt that says elevator fan, with his back towards her, ride the elevator up there, wait a minute, and then go back down.

[@twizz420]

I think I saw her smile lol

[@LongboatLtd2004]

Whoa! The HistOtis [Historic Otis] Freight lift is 107 years old, it cannot be self-levelled. Even with the Wooden guiderails

[@matzeknoob3688]

This is a FANTASTIC VIDEO !! Greetings from Germany..

[@RanHam]

This is my favorite elevaTOUR video. A cool classic otis and a ThyseenKrupp with awesome blue LED buttons. I bet the Otis doesn't have door interlocks or sensors on the gates?

[@EWPA14]

I think there’s interlocks, but no sensors.

[@fansandvintage2008]

Habitat for humanity restores are my favorite thrift stores because they have old fans which I absolutely love

[@ericsturniolo]

Awesome job!! Both are very nice elevators!

[@danielmarreviews3947]

Now that freight elevator IS AN ELEVATOR! Not just any elevator, an AMAZING AWESOME ELEVATOR! :D

[@andrewsobek2386]

is the buzzing noise on the otis the motor or the brake mechanism?

[@bm0518]

Wow I never seen a elevator that old before

[@DanfossDrivesAmerica]

This is PURE OTIS QUALITY. They're lasting for a long time and they didn't break down yet or at all.

[@rupe53]

Anyone else notice at 0:55 the guy says the date in the cement is 1909 and I clearly see 1959? (obviously a repair of some sort) Also, on that quick tour of the top floor at 4:35 the guy talks about the old wood frame and wood floor. I see the floor may be original but the ceiling rafters (floor above or roof?) are certainly modern 2x construction with replacement timber supports (with steel plates bolted) and posts of heavy timber. Best guess is a leaky roof had to be completely rebuilt not all that long ago. There's always history to be seen and a story to be told in the bones of an old building. The old elevator was pretty cool too!

[@jonathancreveling8699]

I think the date in the ground is 1909, it must've smeared a bit to look like a 5

[@BarneyBarnett]

2:35 lol did you arrange that?

[@charliesussman]

Andrew! Can u do a 2016 update on the Market Parking Garage?!? Do you think they'll slap the Thyssenkrupp labels on any time soon?

[@DieselDucy]

If u look at the previous video u will see one

[@charliesussman]

+DieselDucy ah, thanks. I apologize, didn't it!!!

[@blueauraretriever]

+Charlie Sussman He just did with JimLiElevators.

[@blueauraretriever]

Thorn Gamma 6 Agreed. I like the ThyssenKrupp next door.

[@blueauraretriever]

Thorn Gamma 6 In the U.K. elevators are called *lifts*. That's why whenever I watch a U.K elevator video and comment on it, I say "lift" instead.

[@antonv.]

pretty cool

Top notch coverage elevator fan!

[@Trizo]

what does the inspection switch do?

[@SEYMOURTUCHAS]

I had an older otis in my building in detroit. It was an Otis with an "Gardner type car" it was belt driven from a motor and winch unit that hung from the third floor of a 5 story building. It had a cable in the elevator that you pulled up to go down and down to go up. when you wanted to stop at the floor you had to grab the cable within a few feet of the floor then hit the button to engage the brakes. it was very cool. I sold the building and the new owner ripped it out.

[@shawnbowlinger6726]

Any chance he has the cam shaft type controller from the pull cable that started/stoped the elevator. I have the exact same system and cant find any replacement parts.

[@upanddownadventures]

@@shawnbowlinger6726 What building is the elevator in? I ask because I love historic elevators.

[@piotrpietrek6591]

ok

[@Daphaneg1982]

Clear! 5:57 6:17

[@DieselDucy]

Yep

[@jacksonslaterelevatorraila6444]

didn't the Isis replace an old freight

[@DieselDucy]

I live in this building now. The old freight and isis js gone. Schindler 330 replaced the isis and the freight is now a network closet.

[@seanjuth]

The controller is beyond simple. One contactor for normal phase, One contactor for reverse L1 and L3, and one safety relay

[@DieselDucy]

Yep

[@Thevacomaticvacuumcorner]

im suprise its still going and safe at that !

[@Dana_Danarosana]

Cool. I'd love to know the story behind who replaced the buttons... and why. By the way, which imusic tracks did you use here? Nice video. I hope you're surviving the snow okay...

Monarch put in those CJA buttons, & I’m assuming this used to be a tiller line.

[@davidmandall3246]

THAT ELEVATOR MACHINE ROOM IS COOL I LIKE THIS VIDEO

[@gman83090]

We have a re-store in Victoria

[@mistertofu]

How come I think this elevator is not that safe without the gates?

[@AgentRyanReidyElevatorM1-no3ue]

So the Otis was modded by Monarch?

[@DieselDucy]

Yes.

[@iangilldjsuperdude]

I clearly heard the motor of the ThyssenKrupp Isis Elevator inside the machine room.

[@DieselDucy]

There was an isis next to this.

[@iangilldjsuperdude]

@@DieselDucy yeah I know.

[@CyberliteGS]

2:56 WTH a room full of junk!

[@pickles501]

That lady at 2:50. Must be thinking*HUH*?

[@lee-ur7nt]

I used to have to work that elevator routinely. If I can recall, the gate on the 4th floor was a total prick..

[@dlelevatorcompany3681]

Was this building demolished?

[@EWPA14]

The added wing was, but not the original historic building w/ the 2 elevators though.

[@Ih8kone]

No but both elevators were ripped out.

[@MelodySong]

Speaking of thyssenkrupp isis elevators, I actually recently stumbled across my first one irl at the Hampton Inn Sikes Senter Mall in Wichita Falls, TX (yes, it's spelled "senter", do not know why). Sadly unlike ones I've seen through KZbin this elevator has just the dover buzz and regular dover/thyssenkrupp chimes instead of the unique Thyssenkrupp isis chimes. Would've filmed it but it was busy all the times I rode throughout my stay and my anxiety makes it so that I'm not comfortable filming elevators if other people are riding with me (partially because I'm always embarrassed to explain why I'm filming for fear of being judged, gotta love irrational fears). But maybe if you find yourself touring Wichita falls one day there's a place you can find one of those elevators at. There's also a comfort inn north of the Hampton along I-44 and the Maurine St exit that have older Otis series 1's installed that I've stayed at once before too. Hope this little side info helps if you ever decide to visit the area!

[@DieselDucy]

I love the chimes!

[@tonybaines3332]

the brake drum sounds like its wobbling, could be dry worn thrust bearings, the gearbox doesn't sound too good either, big hum on the brake unit sounds like the brake rectifiers too small. what happend to the va ?

[@TheTheo58]

I watched the video a couple of times, I would agree the machine is in poor shape, it runs very rough the grease might be dried out inside the gearbox. The hum from the brake solenoid coil might be loose or worn magnetic field coil. Causing the excessive induction hum when energized. Some elevator brake solenoids do operate on DC which I'd expect to be common with MG sets and DC hoist motors. Which was the case with traction elevator with an MG set at my old job.

[@tonybaines3332]

ive been a lift engineer most my life and ive never seen a gearbox with grease in it, or an ac brake coil, ive seen ac up to the point of the coil then its rectified, and most dc coils hum due to the force that they pull.

[@vinniepie1989]

Very nice!

[@PL1Lifts]

Was the TK an MRL?

[@EWPA14]

Yes.

[@Ih8kone]

@@EWPA14 It has since been replaced with a Schindler HT.

[@EWPA14]

Ik.

[@FloridianElevators]

Is the OTIS a roped hydraulic? It's motor is loud and its very slow for traction.

[@OregonTransitFan]

Someone didn't watch the whole video ;)

[@FloridianElevators]

Cherry City Elevators I did watch the whole video.

[@blueauraretriever]

+Superduper Julien Nope.

[@knighttime093]

+Superduper Julien Really? Did you really just ask if that Otis was roped hydraulic? The elevator is from 1909. There were definitely no roped hydraulic elevators then.....

[@FloridianElevators]

+Zach Strong It's traction

[@jackm-sh2ho]

Have you ever rode the Hollywood Tower of terror in Disney World

[@elevatorsofamerica]

What makes a ISIS different than a TAC32 or TAC20?

[@22408aaron]

+WheelockElevator ISIS was ThyssenKrupp's prototype MRL. Instead of steel cables, it used Kevlar belts, which apparently wore out over time (people said the belts snapped, but I have yet to confirm if that actually happens) and the typical installation would have the motor mounted in the pit, so if there is a flood, your motor is pretty much ruined. The ISIS was quickly pulled off the market and replaced with the Synergy system.

[@elevatorsofamerica]

+22408aaron Man, i though a ISIS was a good elevator. I would be a bit spooked out on riding one.

[@22408aaron]

+WheelockElevator They are completely safe. Most of them have had their belts replaced anyway. I love ISIS. The aesthetics are of nothing you'll find in the United States.

[@PL1Lifts]

22408aaron I think the FBI could be on their way to your house...

[@Ih8kone]

These elevators no longer exist.

No

[@elevatorgaming6712]

Sadly in August 2016 this building was demolished.

[@EWPA14]

The added wing was, but not the original historic building.

[@supertechnocat8253]

Sadly it is likely that both elevators here have been ripped out due to the building being abandoned since habitat for humanity has moved to a new location. It may be likely that this building might be demolished soon.

[@DieselDucy]

Alex Lentell being gutted and convert to apartments

[@charlieesb]

Is this building abandoned

[@supertechnocat8253]

@@charlieesb Like what Andrew said, this building has been converted into apartments. Both the Otis and the ThyssenKrupp were ripped out in the process. The ThyssenKrupp has since been replaced with a 330A.

Although to bad the buttons on that elevator are not fully original:(. But still the elevator is original and antique which is awesome!

I don't know why the heck Thyssenkrupp would call a elevator that.

[@EWPA14]

They called it that WAY before the group came along. In fact, the group doesn’t even call themselves that, it’s just an acronym. The original name came from an ancient god thousands of years ago.

[@EWPA14]

No!

In my lift at habitat video I made in 2017; Lyrics: This is the lift at habitat. So let’s go up to 1. 400 kilograms of 5 persons. Now let’s go to the basement. And that’s it. Captions: This is the list a happy cat. So let’s go up some long. 400 kilograms of size persons. Now let’s go to the base look. And that’s there. Stupid KZbin, always getting the captions wrong! THAT’S NOT WHAT I MEANT!!! There is no happy cat... ‘but there is a habitat though’ ...ARE THEY LOOKING AT THE THING FROM A LIST OF A HAPPY CAT?!?! BEST CAPTIONS EVER!!! 🤣😂😅 PS: DieselDucy, I’m sorry if youre gonna be a little confused there, the captions... aaaaaaaaahh! They are always wrong! 😤🥺😕
