1957 OTIS VIP Autotronic Elevators in Denver CO

[@wackyvorlon]

As I recall, those touch buttons use neon lamps that are just below their strike voltage. Your finger provides enough voltage to make it light up and current to start flowing. It’s a really clever design.

An elevator technician KZbinr called Uncle Otis filmed the machine room for these and it is epic!

[@DieselDucy]

Awesome !!!!

[@KnightlyTruth]

Hey Andrew next time your locomotive crosses through Tennessee, could ya give an extra pull on the horn? A good friend died, who loved the rails, and I can’t get back there. So i figure the next best thing is one last whistle from the fright trains he loved so. If you can it would be appreciated, if you can’t I understand. Have a blessed day.

[@DieselDucy]

Absolutely 👍

Otis touch-sensitive buttons from 1957? I thought these buttons were installed in the 1970s instead.

[@mariokart8715]

These remind me of the ones in New York.

[@DieselDucy]

Cool

@@DieselDucy UALs are as rare as Autotronics are, so yeah pretty rare. It’s the controller that Autotronics use

[@pegcityelevators999]

Reminds me of the 213 Notre Dame Ave elevators in Winnipeg, they also are touch sensitive

[@DieselDucy]

Cool

[@istankimjong-unbutcantstan3398]

A-ha! I know this one. It's in the former First Interstate Bank building on 17th and .... uh Welton, I think. I had recorded this one back in 2010 (but lost that one) and more recently. There is another video of someone else attempting to record this elevator but got run off by security. I hope those lousy slap-ons were not a taste to come for all the elevators. I recorded these before 2020 and only the high-rise ones. To answer your question, there _is_ a service elevator. I had actually ridden it in the late 1990s while doing some work in the building as a temp-worker. It's on the northwest of the building from the lobby. I actually tried to hit it when I had recorded the passenger one but it must have been out of order. I did record the landing doors, however.

[@DieselDucy]

Wow. Thanks for all the info. This place is cool.
