Before and after: The historic elevator at Williams Hall NCSU was modded!

(1-18-2012/3-16-2018) The 1953 Monarch/Dover Freight elevator has been modernized/murdered. Look at the before and after. This is also the video where I discovered my Handycam 760V died :(

I love Diesel Ducy!!!!

[@georgef551]

Could be a lot worse, and Sam Sitar (Balarick) got to see it. The freighter at FSU. Same elevator, just brutally redone, especially the front of the cab with a new door nowhere near as wide.

[@EWPA14]

Also, if this was actually installed in 1953, this got to have originally been installed by Monarch, then Dover came in & did some work to it, as back in '53, it was still the Rotary days.

[@blueauraretriever]

Modern day traction with two speed motor :) nice

[@christopher-2000]

Cool video

[@donkeyplayz-pcgaming8852]

Hey DieselDucy, What kind of elevator is that? BTW, you are the elevator-fanning KING!!!!

[@blueauraretriever]

While I am upset that this rare lift got *fully replaced,* I'm certainly not too upset b/c at least they went with Prestige instead of something more generic & bland like NEMA 4X.

[@michaelwalterselevatorsrob5009]

I guess the auto lose would be considered nudge mode but the indicator does not blink ND

[@filmer765]

This whole mod was insane.

[@stphinkle]

Is that a brand new elevator or a vintage one that has been repainted, given new cab fixtures and a new control button unit?

[@lucasnassar2778]

Shame that one was gone,but this new one is better that the ambient looks less scary than the older one

[@stlelevators]

The old elevator was much better.

[@isaac24]

Agreed

[@isaac24]

Really? You like the Newer One Better?

[@isaac24]

I don't know if I would say THAT... But then what is you favorite?

[@isaac24]

Huh... mine is probably Otis.

[@over.4262]

STL Elevators I agree

[@deadbolt8285]

Do u think that you will do a video and use the t900. And call the vid throwback camera t900?

[@thegalatic4022]

amazing!

[@PAelevators]

Well it’s an okay mod. I seen worse. But nothing lasts forever. Do you know who modernized it?

[@theodorepfeffer7342]

As sad as it is to see the old elevator go, this is not a bad mod. It is also the first time I’ve seen a freight elevator use Innovation Prestige. As positive as I am, I wish this hadn’t replaced the old elevator.

[@danielmarreviews3947]

Theodore Pfeffer agree!

[@TheTheo58]

Well, nice for a new fright elevator installation, but terrible as modernization of the 1953 vintage fright Dover elevator. If the old elevator was still working properly w/o safety/code issues why mod it? It appears the counterweight frame was perhaps location parallel to the guide rail at an angle with a deflector sheave. From what saw of the hoist ropes it was a 1:1 roping. There is no way it could be on the back of the shaft, with the rear opening.

[@michaelwalterselevatorsrob5009]

Personally I kinda like the mod job I mean what's the point of having at least a freight elevator

[@subhasriprasad3896]

Hey Andrew Reams! Tomorrow you'll take Jim to San Antonio for his birthday. I won't miss the video to be uploaded tomorrow by you and jim.

[@thewildeeper]

Heritage came back again?

[@EWPA14]

The only thing I like about this replacement job is that they made the new doors power operated. Everything else though was just a waste of money. :'(

[@EWPA14]

Also, I heard the Reynolds Coliseum got renovated & they installed 2 new Schindler elevators (records). Do you know if that Dover freight elevator's still there? Or has it been modded/replaced?

[@danielmarreviews3947]

So sad that the old elevator has to go :( now just completely generic! Also notice the ACME beep is a little off the number change??

[@williamscoufaras7045]

Did they do a cab replacement or did they just renovate it?

[@DieselDucy]

Replace

[@lucasgelevatorsandmore7722]

The traction motor I think also still sounds original

[@DieselDucy]

I think it was upgraded.

[@wereswdfgrdesd]

@@DieselDucy its epic

[@TXMNElevators]

Ouch...

[@michaelwalterselevatorsrob5009]

Hey Andrew Do you know who made the new doors because the inner doors do not look like Peelle whatsoever

[@thomaslee5717]

These are EMS Bi-parting Doors

[@michaelwalterselevatorsrob5009]

@@thomaslee5717 I realize that now

[@elevatorsfromfrance_official]

OH NO! Why did they mod this historic elevator :( Today it's very rare to see this kind of elevator. (what is the name of the music at 0:04 ?)

[@Ih8kone]

This elevator met the same fate as Lord & Taylor Stamford! Before: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXanZ42uZcl9bbM After: kzbin.info/www/bejne/foCkZZWcj7CGd80

[@GaryBeltz]

Good God!That alarm to let you know it’s about to close is hideous what’s wrong with a match time beep

[@gcchannelsmedia]

I agree with you! If they wanted that alarm, they could have at least added, get ready for this, an SMRT doors closing announcement!

[@MoritzVelten]

Why was't there at 3:40 a beep and at 6:15 well when the dor was closing?

[@michaelwalterselevatorsrob5009]

The continuous beeping is the thing Automatically closing

[@MoritzVelten]

@@michaelwalterselevatorsrob5009 Thanks.

[@lucasgelevatorsandmore7722]

The original elevators had which type of doors. I mean the brand

[@DieselDucy]

Not sure.

[@lucasgelevatorsandmore7722]

I have never ridden a vintage elevator before besides the one at verdun hospital

[@elevatorsincity]

What kinda music is it 2:09

[@DieselDucy]

I’m not sure what I used

[@LittleRockElevators]

I liked the original elevator better. At least they didn't used Innovation Universal, Security, or Bruiser for the fixtures.

[@tjs2014]

So what's even the point of remodernizing. The old one was perfectly fine

Yep.

[@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL]

Ugh bleugh. It's been MURDERnized! :_(

[@lucasnassar2778]

ZZ9 Productions They destroyed a Otis Lexan in a shopping mall from my hometown,but the best it has voiceover now

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

SAME WITH YHE UNIVERSITY SERVICES BUILDING PSU That GORGEOUS Montgomery G&P BD Traction Elevator But ThyssenKrupp COMPLETELY REPLACED it, I almost got stuck in it ALREADY!! But hey, I got an intermediate station already and THANK GOD I made it before it got modded. PLUS, It runs better after I revisited it but still, I prefer the G&P better, again, I like the mod tho at the USB PSU!!

[@VancityElevators]

Damn. Such a shame to see that freighter to be killed by a mod.

[@lucasnassar2778]

Vancity Elevators Yeah,but if I was that guy,I would love that mod,really that old ambient was very scary

[@crapcopter]

At least they avoided (bad word incoming) DEWHURST

[@michaelwalterselevatorsrob5009]

Dante Trainmaster that’s because it is found in EVERY Canadian city and modernizes everything up here! Unlike Innovation which gets all the money in the states

[@michaelwalterselevatorsrob5009]

Well If this was in Canada then you have a point but it is rare to see dewhurst in the states

[@JordanLoweElevaToursCanada]

That’s crazy how much of a transformation they did to the elevator

[@EWPA14]

It was a complete replacement. But yeah, it was quite a transformation

[@lucasnassar2778]

Jordan Lowe ElevaTours Canada At least,for some spectators was better,cause the ambient from the old was really scary

[@EWPA14]

Yeah, but they could have just painted the cab to a more pleasant color. Not replace the whole car.

[@lucasnassar2778]

Elevating Western PA But it's more secure having an indicator

[@EWPA14]

Having an indicator doesn’t make it more “secure.”

[@AN-yy9cq]

This is sad. There really wasn't a reason to pull out a freighter. The antique was thrown out like trash. I bet the new one won't even last half the period the old one did.

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

PLUS, ANOTHER BIG EXAMPLE ON HOW YOU DON’T MODERNIZE AN ELEVATOR!! But this one runs fine but the old Elevator was 100 TIMES BETTER

[@davidng2336]

Dang it! Why destroy an amazing piece of history?!

[@lucasnassar2778]

David Ng At least you will go to Dieselducy house to check his elevator parts,probably this one was donated to him

[@OPG2711]

Dear DieselDucy, I regret to inform you that I will most likely not be able to meet up with you this April. 1) I do not have any communication with you and I do not know when you will be available in Dallas 2) A big wave of homework is coming this week and next week at my school :( -OPM1961 (Shmuli)

[@DieselDucy]

That’s ok. I will be in Dallas on the 12 and 13 I believe

[@OPG2711]

Do you think you could text me before the 11th?

[@DieselDucy]

Yes. Will do.

[@OPG2711]

Perhaps could I show you a couple of elevators after my school gets out? I don’t know.
