[@dea41396returns]

& most of the elevators in that shopping centre are GAFCO/Filechia

[@dea41396returns]

@dieselducy obviously... It was originally an A&S, and it was sold to Strawbridge's in c. 1986/1987. It was only an A&S from 1981-c.1989, but they sure made sure to put in their lovely quality Otis/Esco elevators...

@owenhinton you can start from 2, but just make sure you DON'T end there...

[@dea41396returns]

It really is the former Abraham and Straus (A&S), then when the chain went out in 1995, Strawbridge's moved in around 1997 They closed in 2000 when the former Wannamker (octogonal building) which was then Hecht's closed, and Strawbridge's moved there... The Pavillion (former A&S) opened in 2001.

[@dea41396returns]

ok well I am going there today IDK if I should ride it or not, I am leaning towards not taking it, there are plenty of other crappy elevators in that shopping centre I have 2 put up w/ lol (IE: Sears & Roebuck)

[@dea41396returns]

Upper Marion Twp, PA and It's a Filechia elevator =(

[@Ih8kone]

No, it is an Otis/Amtech elevator

[@dea41396returns]

and I got stuck in this elevator today. It is a piece of ****, typical of A&S!!!

[@dea41396returns]

@owenhinton this elevator is in the Pavilion (former A&S/Strawbridge's). It is down the corridor in-between Borders and the former Golf store on 2, and in-between The Cheesecake Factory and DSW Shoes on 1. I will warn you that if you take it the 2nd floor, there is a 95% chance you will get stuck as it has magnetic switches that always stick together, and therefore cannot communicate with the controller, and the elevator hits the maxout switch for the 2nd floor, and stops, and is inoperable :P

[@dea41396returns]

yup Otis modernized by Schindler

[@Ih8kone]

It was actually modernized by Amtech according to Pennsylvania Elevator Records.

[@Ih8kone]

The bell and voice have since been removed.

[@dev-xq8lz]

Shoulda kept the voice

[@ElevatingArizonaByGageWilliams]

0:55 3:55 grandpa voice from otis elevonic 401 elevators

[@dea41396returns]

it would've been originally an otis

[@dea41396returns]

@dieselducy Actually, if A&S in Short Hills, NJ is a Westy like it could be, that could mean this is a westy as well...

[@revo8778]

Well keep making them! They're great!

[@alexthephotographer9314]

0:33 *Phantom voice* “Please allow the doors to close.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Died laughing

Nice leveling!

[@DieselDucy]

yep.

[@alexthephotographer9314]

@@DieselDucy That phantom voice is so funny 🤣

[@dea41396returns]

I think this was modernized by a company who's name escapes me, o, Now I remember, it was modernized by a company by the name of "Filechia Elevator Company"

[@Ih8kone]

According to Pennsylvania Elevator Records it was modernized by Amtech.

[@05Forenza]

@dieselducy We have the exact same elevator (minus the auto doors...have to hit door-close button that actually works :P) at Macy's (used to be Foley's). The other escalators are Montgomery.

[@owenhinton]

@FranceHopper westinghouse modded by schindler. actually this used to be a department store (a&s) but in the court has craft elevators and the plaza has monty freights and schindler passenger

[@HesitantSignal]

I heard a alarm not the bell but another alarm. What was it?

[@NHComputerGeek]

haha, you went to that mall like 3-4 months after me, but you went into the bowels of it :O

[@likitty20]

@dieselducy its strange to me with the fact that you didnt get caught, you are possibly a very lucky person

[@Ih8kone]

Despite what other people have said in the comments, according to Pennsylvania Elevator Records, Amtech modernized this elevator, but the records do not indicate who originally installed it.

[@DieselDucy]

Awesome. thanks.

[@CharlieGallivan-vi5vf]

​@@DieselDucythis was obviously modernized by Schindler based on how the door takes a while to close. And Amtech is only from California

[@owenhinton]

@VancouversLocalNerd westinghouse modded by schindler, so dont be surprised. but there is an electrical eye

[@dickcheney6]

@owenhinton What difference does that make? is the wiring in schindlers not very good or something

[@DieselElevators]

+DieselDucy What happens if you get stuck in there? The alarm bell (In the basement!!!!) also acts as the "Door Close" alarm, so if someone was ringing the alarm, nobody would think twice about it. Your only hope would be the phone.

[@jaydenproctor2061]

Safest elevator in the world :)

[@Ih8kone]

DieselElevators No, the emergency bell is on top of the car.

[@EWPA14]

Dante Trainmaster That’s NOT the case on all elevators. On a lot of elevators, the bell’s on the lowest floor right next to the elevator, like on this 1. The “door close bell” looks, & sounds just like an elevator alarm.

[@Ih8kone]

@@EWPA14 On this one it's on top of the car.

[@EWPA14]

No, as you can see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnqpqIiKgLafY6c kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJvPaYdpotOZb7M

[@owenhinton]

whered u find all of these freight/service elevs at KOP? i want to find them

[@owenhinton]

@dea41396returns so are you saying not to take it anywhere starting at the second floor or ending at it?

[@minefan100isback2]

Will they ever put something new in the Elevator?

[@owenhinton]

@pnwelevator westinghouse modded by schindler, so dont be surprised, and they should have kept old unmodernized westy

[@VancouversLocalNerd]

A freight elevator with a door timer? that's totally useless for large loads, you wouldn't have time to get everything in there.

[@dea41396returns]

@fusoe that's how NORMAL freight elevators are... This lift is NOT normal by any means, I've ridden as well... I got stuck in it too. It sucks... It's a real P O S, only made possible by SIMON property group LOL

[@hunterduncan362]

lol you were like, here the alarm b- RINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

What's up with the Life Savers-painted Matchbox train at the beginning? 0.0'

[@M72_Transit_And_More]

Very ANNOYING elevator!!! The alarm bell is ANNOYING!!!

[@owenhinton]

@dickcheney6 what im saying is that schindlers door close buttons dont work

[@FranceHopper]

Motor sounds like a Schindler, Schindler has the electric eyes on their freight elevators (newer ones at least) and most of the elevators in the mall are Schindler. So pretty good bet it's a Schindler.

[@katkiller3000]

the problem is probably that strap attached to the doors, they might be blocking the electric eye which is not letting it close.

[@EWPA14]

I don’t think that’s the issue, as the guy in this video has demonstrated the sensor (in a different video I believe), while it started closing, & then it re-opened as normal. I think just the door control buttons & timer’s messed-up.

[@revo8778]

Kinda cool how it chimes like a passenger elevator. How do you get to these things without being thrown out?

[@beataskoczylas8110]

Ok

[@Dwall44]

Very carefully.

[@Tecwhizz]

I have videoed a virtual shindler freight elevator (but because i'm from the uk i've called it a goods lift) Because it's in a simulator, the only way to make a dead door close button would be to make the background textures with a huge empty space then at the bottom put a door close button. It's not a button so it won't work! But as I'm not the author of the building I can't do that! Anyway, you can view the video by searching for 'virtual shindler freight' (without the apostrophise [ ' ])

[@IDontKnow-pf6en]

oooh, im from philly, i should check this outtt!

[@EWPA14]

This is in the Pavilion Wing back in the service corridors in case you didn’t know.

[@owenhinton]

@moviefreak95 actually people here are used to it and just walk by like there is nothing going on, but it wouldn't be so good if it got stuck

[@owenhinton]

[@owenhinton]

@pnwelevator westinghouse modded by schindler

[@georgef551]

The door close doesn't work...it MUST be Schindler.

[@dickcheney6]

I think the close button is just broken since this elevator takes so long to close, that everyone who rides the elevator pushes the button, so it wears out and breaks.

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

I understand.

[@connorkern2568]

theres a synergy freighter on roblox studio

[@michaelwalterselevatorsrob5009]

Speaking of being Modded IT NEEDS TO ME MODDED AGAIN BECAUSE IT CAN GET STUCK VERY EASY MODDED VERY GOOD MAYBE BY MEI

[@moose9784]

@moose9784 ahh where's my grammar today? I meant I don't mind computer voices on passenger elevators. But that alarm bell annoys the s*^& out of me.

[@NathanDavisVideos]

Ah yes... The video that probably started it all. BTW... Hello from the future (or at least the year 2023!) Unfortunately the bell is now gone (probably because someone was so "annoyed" by it-that they probably was fed-up and broke it), and the voice doesn't even work anymore...

[@phillies4100_mainsite]

I've been to KOP.

[@moose9784]

PLEASE ALLOW THE DOORS TO CLOSE. That was ANNOYING!!!! (But I don't mind if an elevator computer voice on a passenger elevator.)

[@seanlee747]

the strap may have blocked the optical door guard

[@EWPA14]

I don’t think that’s the issue, as the guy in this video has demonstrated the sensor (in a different video I believe), while it started closing, & then it re-opened as normal. I think just the door control buttons & timer’s messed-up.

[@plateshutoverlock]

Bleh, I hate that alarm. Makes me think a whole bunch of cops are going to appear and get my ass.

[@TheDylanJoyce]

Do they have elevators like this that go to the very top of Skyscrapers around 50 or more stories?

[@EWPA14]

It depends.

[@Dwall44]

@@EWPA14 the highest freight elevator I’ve ever seen was like 10 stories? It was at a casino in Atlantic City.

[@EWPA14]

The tallest freight I've been on is 38 floors, & I know there's taller 1s.

Geez, this thing is obnoxious. That voice is annoying. But, my gosh that bell! Are they trying to make people go ear bleed?

[@ag6371]

THAT PHANTOM VOICE IS ANNOYING

[@Ih8kone]

Annoying as it may be, those noises serve as a warning that the doors are closing so that the doors don't crush you.

[@EWPA14]

Dante Trainmaster Yeah, but he does have a good point, & it’s also his own opinion. I personally think a simple beeper would have done the job.

[@owenhinton]

@dickcheney6 well it is a schindler fixture...

He only uses freight elevators when he is recording them. -_-

Same deal for me. Unless if there’s no stairwell or passenger elevator nearby that is.
