Historic elevator

[@DieselDucy]

It was epic.

[@TheTheo58]

Dandy vintage elevator 92 yrs old still running like a fine well oiled machine. Interesting with the front and rear cab doors, must be a loading dock on the 1st level or something. Motor sounds great.

[@DieselDucy]

it runs fantastic.

If you stay at my house, don't try to shart while I am prepping in the shower, or don't use the master bathroom while my parents are sleeping. Lol

[@DieselDucy]

I typically don’t stay in peoples houses I don’t know super well

[@FLCollection620]

Nice!

[@DieselDucy]

Thanks

[@moved683]

Awesome

[@DieselDucy]

Thanks

[@nozomiikuta2504]

Interesting you call it an Otis elevator, when it says Watson! Otis and Watson worked together. Watson was the inventor; Otis was in sales but ended up with the patent.

[@snocoelevators]

When is your next livestream?

[@DieselDucy]

Don’t know yet.

[@TechNerdNolan]

How did a Watson end up in STL. All I know is that they had offices in NYC and were installed in the tri states.

[@DieselDucy]

That is what I don’t understand

[@EgadsNo]

@DieselDucy We got some Watson elevators in Newark NJ at the Anheuser-Busch Brewery- perhaps this private building used to be theirs- they sure owned alot of buildings in St Louis, was just there for training.

[@wweguy5919]

Do u think we will see another road trip video this year

[@DieselDucy]

Maybe

[@Matthew-dd2gp]

New intro!!

[@DieselDucy]

Hope you like it :)

[@FLCollection620]

Inside the elevator/lift I saw Say it with me. 3,2,1 A fluorescent light!

[@DieselDucy]

It appears to have been an led retrofit sadly.

[@FLCollection620]

@@DieselDucy I have a fluorescent light but it has led tube I will replace with fluorescent

[@mariokart8715]

One of the first hospital sized elevators ever?

[@DieselDucy]

maybe?

[@snocoelevators]

I may visit Roanoke with 5 other friends in late July! It will be a road trip on a livestream!

[@DieselDucy]

Awesome.

[@snocoelevators]

You should tune in to it when it happens!

[@mariokart8715]

Is that location undisclosed?

[@DieselDucy]

private building.

[@snocoelevators]

Are you by any chance going to plan a trip to WA?

[@DieselDucy]

Not in the near future but maybe someday in the future.

[@snocoelevators]

If you were to preform at my school, what song would you play?

[@DieselDucy]

I don’t sing well

[@snocoelevators]

It would be cool and if Jason was there, the bloopers will come in Northwest style! LOL

[@dmvelevatorsandmore]

@@DieselDucy Maybe the Dieselducy song? 😁😁

[@mamabear0408]

Nice 👍

[@DieselDucy]

Thanks

[@snocoelevators]

Have you been to WA, and filmed there?

[@DieselDucy]

I’ve been there but never filmed there as it was before I was filming.

[@snocoelevators]

@@DieselDucy What did you think?

[@piercescott115]

[@DieselDucy]

1930 I believe. I’ll have to ask Jason

[@snocoelevators]

Would you like me to upload a video of my frogs and lizards?

[@DieselDucy]

I guess. I really don’t watch much KZbin though.

[@DieselDucy]

I doubt it.

[@avlifts1989]

[@mariokart8715]

It gets maintained every month.
