EPIC Otis Elevonic 401 Traction Service Elevators at The Crowne Plaza Times Square in New York, NY

Filmed on July 8th, 2024 with ‪@TheElevatorGuru‬
Happy Birthday ‪@NWIndianaElevators‬ !
Since I've never filmed a single Menard's Elevator nor have I even been to one to begin with, I figured I'd celebrate Jay's Birthday by uploading a video of these!
These Awesome Otis Elevonic 401 Service Elevators located at the Crowne Plaza Times Square! MANY people have filmed the Main Elevators here, but prior to me coming here, I don't think anyone else has managed to film these, and I'm definitely glad that I can say that I have! The Main Elevators while very nice do have EPCO Fixtures, but these on the other hand feature HUGE Standard Series 1 COPs, and I can easily say that these elevators (tied with the Service Elevator at 999 3rd Ave Seattle) are the TALLEST Series 1s I've been on with the Traditional Series 1 COPs!
These elevators are REALLY REALLY COOL, they run REALLY nicely and are overall very nice and VERY CLEAN for Service Elevators, especially considering how massive and BUSY this hotel is and how heavily these have obviously been used over the last 35 years (albeit to a lesser extent compared to the Main Elevators)! The COP brailles are a bit worn out, but aside from that these are in really good condition. And unlike the Main Elevators, the beepers on these for the floor passing chime properly work! What I especially love about these elevators however is that they very much remind me of the original Service elevators at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis that ‎‪@DieselDucy‬ & ‎‪@musicfreakcc‬ filmed back in 2009. Unlike those, these don't have the high pitched lantern chimes as these are quite a bit newer than those were, but they're still Elevonic 401s with Massive Series 1 COPs so I'm happy!
All in all, REALLY COOL Elevators and I'm definitely glad I was able to catch them at the right time when they weren't too busy!
Installed in 1989.

These Elevators are so cool! It’s really unfortunate these Otis Elevonic 401’s are disappearing by the day.:(

Thank you! These elevators are super cool, but I didn't visit this hotel due to time constraints.

I’VE ALSO FOUND SOME ORIGINAL ELEVONIC 401s in the area I’m from! I’d like to say they’re legit the nicest ones I’ve ever ridden!
