Low Pitched! 1999 Schindler 321A Hydraulic Elevator @ 6 South Vail Avenue - Arlington Heights, IL

(Recorded December 28th, 2019) Finally my first low pitch! Too bad the condition of this elevator remains a lot to be desired

These low-pitched chimes are getting so much rarer these days. There used to be another Schindler low-pitched at a former Ultra Foods in Wheaton, Illinois which closed in 2016.

[@ProspectElevators]

I sadly never got the chance to get to the one in Wheaton before it closed. And the sad thing is that even if it does reopen to something else. It'll probably get upgraded with the high pitch chimes

[@ElevatorsInternational]

That’s true

[@IllinoisElevators]

@@ElevatorsInternational It actually closed in 2017, I filmed it in March 2017.

[@ElevatorsInternational]

@@IllinoisElevators Oh yeah! I remember seeing your video on that elevator, as well as Ryan (msj 191961).

[@IllinoisElevators]

@@ElevatorsInternational Yeah

[@EWPA14]

It got the newer cap. plate as seen on a lot of newer 330As. Must have been replaced.

[@ProspectElevators]

Perhaps, and oof this video got 300 views. RIP

[@EWPA14]

Almost 300...

[@EWPA14]

And actually it appears the whole indicator & cabinet got replaced, as there's no Schindler logo on it either.

[@ProspectElevators]

@@EWPA14 A shame but at least the chimes are still original...

[@EWPA14]

Which is surprising. It's possible a different company ordered that from Schindler.

This one's rare just like Eastern Los Angeles Reigonal Center Elevator

[@IllinoisElevators]

I was on this thing yesterday and this things gotten much worse, when I was going up it was bouncing A LOT and its probably because it was low on oil, sucks to see a low-pitched in this state.

[@ProspectElevators]

I was there on the 18th of February and experienced the same thing so your right

[@harpercraft9354]

Notice how this elevator is on its original controller. The chime will not ring unless you go outside and press the call button.

[@ProspectElevators]

I think I hit the jackpot on this then

[@ProspectElevators]

@WILLIAM CONDRON they're basically a 330A controller with a couple differences

[@ElevatorDude]

EPIC MOTOR!

[@tkefan29]

That's a wimpy little low pitched chime lol

Diary of a Wimpy Schindler
