Vintage Otis Traction elevator @ The Nashville Arcade Nashville TN

[@isaac24]

I was here recently! Still runs like a beauty!!!

[@DougTrovinger]

This damn elevator is still there and is a freaky one too, lol It's a beauty though.

[@hyrdrogenalpha]

The sliding gate will not open when it gets cold. You have to pull on it. The leveling was always hit or miss with this elevator. Office space #54 had the door to enter the shaft along with the telephone wire connecting to the emergency box in the elevator. The door once in a great while could be opened wehn the elevator was running. All-in-all, a fun elevator!

I believe the Nashville Arcade can definitely still be there in 2022

[@DieselDucy]

It is

[@upanddownadventures]

The door sill does not look like it is from 1902. I don't know if the controller is original, but it is very old.

[@neaelevator]

Very nice!

[@nbigham1]

Hey dieselducy. I live in Nashville and took a video of that same elevator today!

[@Coolerics2011]

dieselducy, i think right now you only have, like 1 impact cam. maybe you should do one for this elevator? because it levels bad, maybe we could get a close look! Thumbs up if he should do it

[@alexanderverbeek95]

thanx for the retake! this thing is amazing!

[@elevatorfreak112]

thanks for uploading this now i know the layout to get to the elevator

[@romphonix]

What are the up/down buttons in the elevator for? Independent service maybe?

[@snocoelevators]

Maybe you can visit me in Washington State and go to Mill Creek to see the Dover Elevator Andrew!

[@wpgtransitfan0333]

That place kind of looks like the forks market in Winnipeg

[@Bombiedude.]

I think the reason they upgraded the elevator so heavily was because it was the only one in the building and they had to make it fit ada regulations some how and the doors were probably not always automatic

[@Ih8kone]

It is not ADA compliant.

[@nbigham1]

I love that place

[@Bammer2001]

I saw this elevator in one of your earliest videos. At first, I thought that the Nashville Arcade was where you play arcade games, but sadly, it's a historical mall.

[@isaac24]

LOL

[@elevatorfreak112]

@NEXPAR that's right they have one speed which is move they do not have leveling speed

[@Ih8kone]

Why install a traction for only 2 floors?

[@Ih8kone]

tkefan29 It was a thing back then, but wasn't affordable.

[@procksomaterman]

@@Ih8kone you just answered your own question.

[@elevatorfreak112]

what the hell a fan switch on an old elevator like this? that's weird

[@Bombiedude.]

This elevator was deffinatelly modernized at a later time because those buttons are definatelly not otis

[@elevatorfreak112]

I hope the bumps not that bad don't want my leg bone in my lung

[@micogenerao2800]

[@marshallfrompawpartol2160]

[@OPG2711]

This was modernized back in the 90s.

[@DieselDucy]

All it got was slap on and new outer doors

[@OPG2711]

That's what I thought.

[@noahharris2260]

DieselDucy they changed a lot of stuff in that elevator

[@LiftEnthusiast2020OFFTOPIC]

Historic

[@LIFTEXCELSIOROfficial]

Got Your Swing Automatic Door

[@crapper1]

wow thats amazing one of the oldest elevators i have ever seen

[@noahharris2260]

I think the elevators that are really old are amazing

[@andrewsstation6436]

I guess they modernized it so it would be ADA-compliant.

[@Ih8kone]

No. It is not ADA compliant.
