I love how they kept the interior original and the gate. The mod was pretty good as Automatic Elevator did a great job and they still allowed the elevator to have a lovely vintage feel to it as well as updating the control equipment. Even though the buttons have been replaced on the inside, they do fit in with the look of the elevator and they are quite a nice model of Innovation and they kept the outer call buttons original

[@matickrevh4853]

Congrulations, AMAZING ELEVATORS. It is very historic and vintage.

[@renatoz1504]

hi I'm a lift technician here in Brazil, I really like your videos

[@twmax4137]

Lol, at 7:27 when the brake stopped the motor, his phone when off 😂😂

[@stampycatfan01lol]

I think Mike did a FANTASTIC job!

[@DieselDucy]

+stampycatfan01 oh yeah he did :)

[@blueauraretriever]

I agree 100% i like how he chose innovation premier

[@ElevationStationProductions]

Amazing as always!

[@cletusspuckler2243]

Loved the pads +disc brake system like a car brake on the West lift machine !

[@ericsturniolo]

Love that old controller!!

[@joaquinfernandesferreira2593]

4:24 That governor has obviously been replaced

[@DieselDucy]

It has

[@SamSitar]

both machine rooms very nice.

[@renatoz1504]

Oi sou técnico em elevadores aqui no Brasil, gosto muito dos seus vídeos

[@davidgibb509]

nice elevators and machine rooms

[@22408aaron]

I think this is an awesome set of elevators. The character is still there, however the controls are updated to not only provide an easier time for replacement, but also to keep the elevator as safe as ever. I love that rooftop balcony, which is something that you never see anymore due to liability purposes. But if there is one thing that I learned from this video, I will always trespass with permission :P

[@blueauraretriever]

I've actually went to hotels over the weekend to ride the elevators (with permission from the security guards) 3x this weekend but the doubletree elevators required a key. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[@blueauraretriever]

I LOVE those types of Innovation buttons! They're Premier or probably Pinnacle

[@tobeysze641]

Specialty Elevators and UEE's by Technicalboy3000 Premier.

[@elevatorsinrussia2597]

Definately Premier as Pinnacle are white illuminating buttons with the metal halo.

[@blueauraretriever]

***** Innovation Premier is now my most favorite Innovation button besides Bruiser.

[@tobeysze641]

Specialty Elevators and UEE's by Technicalboy3000 Cool

[@georgef551]

Remember not to trespass without permission. Only trespass with permission.

[@EWPA14]

That's the point lol.

[@TechNerdNolan]

Trespassing is fun

[@wrgtv4693]

better than a new elevator!!!

[@LB-td4sn]

the elevator at the Plainfield Public Library in Plainfield, IL and it has a EPIC MOTOR and its a Automatic and I recommend you to film there

[@uppercut_gr]

Nice modernising!! ;)

[@DieselDucy]

Indeed it is!

[@ShaferProductions]

when mike puts a call in i here a super mario sound XD

[@andreas7136]

Machine and controller are around 100 years apart!

[@LittleRockElevators]

I like these elevators even with the Innovation Premier fixtures (ACME indicator ehh).

[@joaquinfernandesgarcia996]

2:31 No entry!!! HIGH VOLTAGE!!!!!

[@DieselDucy]

Correct

[@williamscoufaras7045]

The brake looks like an original Otis brake when Otis first invented it

[@dykodesigns]

That old machine is prestine condition, nice. The new one seems a bit big considering the size of the passenger elevator. It's huge compared to an MRL.

[@blueauraretriever]

Speaking of MRL, there's a 99% chance the elevator I'm riding tonight at my pop's frirnd's house in Jersey is MRL. That means there is a high chance I'll ride my first MRL in 10 years. And speaking of first, I just road my first destination dispatch elevators yesterday. They were mad insane cool and fast. You should ride a Destination Dispatch elevator! they're so much fun!

[@IanGSully]

On the west Elevator, while riding the elevator, you can barely hear the motor.

[@427zoh6]

That "stuffer box" on the swing door was brought about by kids playing "hide n go seek" in the Tenderlion area of San Francisco.....a kid was hiding behind the swing door with the gate door on the cab closed.....another kid spotted him.....ran over and slammed the door closed....car had a call waiting and the elevator took off with the kid trapped between the car and closed/locked hoist way door....the kid was DOA.....sadly.....now it's required to add "stuffing boxes" on those old swing doors.

[@DieselDucy]

+427zoh6 when did this happen.

[@elevatorsinrussia2597]

Nice mod with Innovation Premier.

[@blueauraretriever]

yeah i agree i love innovation premier & pinnacle

[@drdegutrez8458]

there's a worm gear?

[@LB-td4sn]

is the Posliter Whitney machine geared traction or gearless traction?

[@retroolschool]

Im sorry but thats a lousy buttons mod especially that way too big floor indicator. Its like if a hybrid motor was put in a GM New Look bus!

[@HaryWitanto]

Vintage elevator...wow

[@Dana_Danarosana]

Nice job as always. Did Mike say why the west elevator's machinery needed to be totally replaced? That old cast iron stuff is built like a brick you-know-what. I was wondering if the building had suffered storm damage or a fire. If so, the restoration of the building itself looks amazing!!!

[@user-bc1qz7gp4j]

Thank you very much for your valuable picture. I have 1 favor to ask. It becomes stable, and I want you to record operating state of a brake on tape. There should be various organizations in the elevator organization for a brake. 貴重な映像をありがとう。 １つお願いがあります。 ブレーキの動作状態を安定して録画して欲しい。 ブレーキはエレベーター機構の中でも様々な機構があるはず。

[@rayfridley6649]

American Elevator Co. Are they still in business?

[@TCGProductions03]

7:36 I checked my phone.

[@upanddownadventures]

Do you know if all modern traction elevators in the United States are required to have a rope gripper, or similar device? Also, if an elevator with a glass machine room roof (many very old elevators have that) is modernized, does the glass have to be replaced with a solid roof? If so, do you know when elevator codes started to require that? And do they require a glass machine room be replaced if it is a bottom drive elevator with a machine room (usually called a wheel house) on the roof that only has some sheaves and the governor, and it is being modernized? Or only if the replace the governor?

[@Nighthawke70]

@6:11 what direction were you looking when you snapped that shot? That looks like the University medical center complex.

[@kansasthunderman1]

What make and model is that geared machine? It looks like a very early version of a Hollister & Whitney.

[@ashwantnaidu9888]

Why Are Windows Cant Be In A Motor Room? 🤔

[@DieselDucy]

Some older ones have them.

[@proseinc123]

I know I elevator you haven't done that's minerwells tx baker hotel

[@wesselvermeer8358]

the controler is schit it runs like lester controls

[@zachz96]

Why are windows not allowed? I do not see how a window in the machine room can be dangerous.

[@nunyabussiness4054]

If it is left open or broken due to heat or explosion it turns the elevator shaft into a chimney. For the same reason all machine room doors are supposed to be self closing.

[@timthompson8839]

The elevator at 0:17 I have seen that in other videos. Where is it located?

[@EWPA14]

It was @ the fmr. Habitat for Humanity store in Roanoke, VA. Sadly, when the store closed & got converted into lofts, the elevators got ripped out.

[@tobeysze641]

Why do they have to mod it? But I think it's a fabulous mod. I really like how they used those type of Innovation fixtures.

[@tobeysze641]

Andrew, keep up the editing and the videos, I really enjoy them.

[@tobeysze641]

Norrene Kern They modded already.

[@jaye_statefarm]

What did it have before it was modded?

[@DieselDucy]

+Jon Videogeek I think cja

Great mod. But did you give Mike my address but i got a shirt and a hat from him and i never asked for anything?

[@DieselDucy]

+PAelevators your brother won a contest he ran.

[@PAelevators]

[@bigpopparand1]

They should replace those with modern elevators much safer without gates and places idiots will put their hands through
