Thyssenkrupp sure did a fantastic job on this modernization.

[@DieselDucy]

+Fantech0104 Yes they did :)

[@stephand4017]

RIP Elevator 😓😓 Thank goodness the parts are safe and sound in your lift museum!😇😇 2:41 You pressed door OPEN instead of door close!

[@liftsinireland]

That lift/elevator was so iconic to your channel. Although Thyssenkrupp did a great job on the mod, that lift will be missed

[@DieselDucy]

+TheElevator&AlarmGeek You are in the video :)

[@ElijahMagniez]

***** I saw, thanks for including me. And excellent editing I can tell you worked hard on this. :)

[@msj191961]

+TheElevator&AlarmGeek They really did do an awesome job. I know you already saw the video, but 11:26, this is what I was talking about with how the fire alarms are tied into the elevators in some buildings. The elevator recalled when the smoke detector was activated. It really is a nice safety feature, and I was shocked when you told a technician told you the fire alarms have nothing to do with the elevators. Looks like an old Faraday or Simplex horn in this video.

[@elevatorsinrussia2597]

Thyssenkrupp did an Awesome job! It has a distinctive door motion sound (door motor sound). Sounds awesome.

[@neaelevator]

I have always wanted to see them perform a test with the weights. This was a awesome video.

[@stampycatfan01lol]

2:41 DieselDucy thinks he pressed the door close button but actually pressed the door open button. WIN as it amuses me every time I see that moment.

[@wintorialslift]

i think he did that on purpose, to get ready for the view

This will surely sell out at the theaters, 2015's top blockbuster

[@blue.light.fazbear]

Good mod job, love how they integrated the new chime and lantern module into the US frame but they probably could’ve done better with the cab But it isn’t to bad

[@domsama1619]

GREAT VIDEO! I'm always telling my father to drive by the Globe court garage w/ the traditional dover glass elevator to see if it is eventually getting modernized.

[@NewEnglandElevators]

Although the US elevator will be missed, I think ThyssenKrupp did a really nice job on this modernization! Probably my favorite part of the mod was how they made use of the old US lantern, and integrated their own features with it (the chime, the white lights, etc).

[@DieselDucy]

+NewEnglandElevators it is a good mod and I love that too :)

[@msj191961]

+NewEnglandElevators I wonder exactly how they did that. While they could have just replaced the bulbs with LED's and added the electronic chime, they could have also completely replaced the guts of the lantern and just kept the face plate. Something to think about, haha.

[@elevatingohio975]

@@DieselDucy You can see it inside the elevaTOURS Museum

[@liamrblxgaming2417]

The US Elevator Panel can be seen at the elevaTORS museum

[@msj191961]

Awesome! I love that they kept in the original directional indicator. I'm so glad you got all the fixtures, I was afraid you wouldn't.

[@DieselDucy]

+msj191961 i am too. They needed to be saved.

[@msj191961]

+DieselDucy Defiantly. Really glad TK handled this one. As of almost all their mods, they did an awesome job on this one. It would really be a shame to see this thing modded with HT or have some third party brand do the mod.

[@stevenk8209]

+msj191961 i know a lot of TK elevators in my local area that, who I personally know the owner of, complain how much time and money they need to invest into their one TK elevator because of how often it breaks down. Wish it was Otis.

[@msj191961]

+Steven Kokko Hmm, I guess I really haven't talked to building owners, but I have personally experienced new TK installations and modernizations that have been incredibly nice. Otis is alright, but in my opinion, their elevators are just too generic sometimes. I mainly like TK because I love Dovers, and TK is Dover now, and I think they've kept making really nice elevators. It's just personal opinion I guess.

[@agrot65]

This just hurts to watch. Even in 2020, it still hurts to see this elevator gotten modernized.

[@TrevorBerridge]

Wow! They did a really great job. I'm glad they took good care of KZbin's favorite elevator ;)

[@shmulstvgone3169]

Nice TKE modernization! I like how they reused the original in-car lantern.

[@JordanLoweElevaToursCanada]

You can never go wrong with ThyssenKrupp they are the best

[@thewildeeper]

Nice video Andrew! Liked the behind the scenes footage- it's cool to see some of the modernization progress as it's taking place

[@mattchylack8034]

Though this was such a great elevator when it was a US, the mod was very well done by ThysennKrupp! That is awesome that you got the fixture from the elevator too!

[@alpaljl]

Great mod and much nicer floor!! Paint job has a bit to be desired as well as the mismatched walls on each side of the door.

[@metroelevators4619]

I would definitely have to agree that thyssenkrupp did an amazingly job on the modernization

[@ElTipoEspañol]

ThyssenKrupp Did a Super duper amazing job on the mod even tho i will still remember these vids before elevator was modded.

Glad to see you got the old fixtures. I still have yet after many years of searching been able to find any fixtures at all.

[@PecanBaby...]

Austin looked so sad when you asked him to press the buttons for the last time. I am sure he will learn to love the new one, I hate change myself sometimes to but that is the way of the world. 😊 Yes I am aware that it is 2 years ago but I have subscribed to your channel now.

That fire alarm going off was a simplex 2901-9840 or a 9838. And that's a nice elevator!

[@liftboy3861]

R.I.P US elevator/lift, Builded in 1984, Modernized in 2015, 31 years before mod. It was also my favourite elevator/lift.

[@jfwfreo]

Compared to what your typical modernization in Australia ends up looking like (often mods by the likes of Schindler), these guys did a really great job.

[@DieselDucy]

they did.

[@WestCoastElevators]

Although ThyssenKrupp did a fantastic job with this modernization, I don't understand the rational behind modernizing a perfectly well functioning elevator. I am glad you got a bunch of the fixtures Andrew!

[@Gosh_Josh]

Sometimes an elevator can run rough or is problematic or not smooth then in that case you modernise

[@WestCoastElevators]

***** True, but in all of *****'s videos this elevator appeared to run perfectly well (besides the times it was low on hydraulic fluid, meaning there was a lack of maintenance at times, not that the elevator was at times problematic). To the best of my knowledge this was one of the smoothest running US elevators. Of coarse there could have very easily been mechanical issues unseen, or that surfaced only recently, but if so I am unaware of them.

ThyssenKrupp did a amazing job with this elevator. Good thing they kept the directional lantern and interlock. MAD BS fixtures are nice for this elevator. It could've been worse with Innovation (especially Bruiser).

[@cubsrule2040]

Actually those aren't MAD BS; they're the current style TK vandal resistant fixtures which came out in 2009.

Wow! Nice job ThyssenKrupp

[@DieselDucy]

+ElevEAS by SPCprairiestate Productions Yep :) ThyssenKrupp did an AMAZING job!

[@blueauraretriever]

+DieselDucy My high school is 6 floors and the passenger elevator (used to be a 30s otis modded with CJ Anderson and Generic) goes 200 ft/min. The problem is that each floor is 16 ft apart from each other and it takes five seconds to clear each level. Still faster than running down the stairs. One of the security guards there says it goes the speed of molasses and whats even more stupid is it's traction! Do you think ThyssenKrupp should come to my school during the summer and make the speed 500 ft/min or not?

[@user-kp6xf4gf7t]

The Tysennkrupp is falling apart. If they had not modded it, I’m willing to bet that it would still be running great today.
