Mini eleva TOUR: Gulf Tower Pittsburgh PA with 1932 Westinghouse Manual Elevator

[@trollingtime1234]

It’s not everyday you get to see a manually controlled elevator, let alone a tall high rise one that’s 38 floors. These are awesome elevators And I love the beautiful main elevators too, they are tastefully moded and I’m glad they still kept the original fixtures. I’d love to ride these at some point.

[@DieselDucy]

It was epic.

[@MrEpicElevator]

WOW no kidding that is an EPIC service elevator. Looks like tons of fun to ride. Excellent job on the video too!

[@dykodesigns]

that service elevator is amazing! It's fast and even gated.

[@PAelevators]

Great video.. You got a great video of the freight mine sucks, because I was in a rush and at 2:28 when you asked if there gearless they are they have a thyssenkrupp tac50 Controller but the freight motor is still original. Also it was great talking to you on the phone today

[@whatheworld]

That service elevator was a rocket !!

[@TheRealLink]

Geez that gated elevator hauls! Very cool service elevator.

EPIC manually controlled Westinghouse Elevator

[@peggywilliams5857]

I believe My grandson Jared showed me a video of him riding these elevators. And Mr. Reams I been watching some of your videos and I never knew how much and elevator does to get you floor to floor. Keep up the good work.

[@DieselDucy]

+Peggy Williams feel free to add me on facebook.

[@Kaden303]

I followed you on twitter!

[@EWPA14]

This IS Jared in disguise.

[@jonathancreveling8699]

Nice beautiful building too!

[@NostalgicElevatorRyan200-jw1ye]

Installed in 1932, partially modded in 1970, and it's still original and still in operation in 2024! Also, an enthusiast from Ohio recently got to ride this after hours...

[@DieselDucy]

That is awesome

[@mrmattandmrchay]

06:00 That view up the shaft was amazing - very nicely lit also (which flashlight did you use for that?). 07:12 Love old fashioned light bulb panels like this one. Imagine the wires that were needed to produce this - must all have travelled through the trailing cables from machine room to lift car.

[@DieselDucy]

Nitecore MH27 1000 lumen. Thanks for watching :)

[@CAelevators.]

+DieselDucy if you are ever in California again let me know, i would love to meet up.

[@WestCoastElevators]

I'm amazed at how well the flashlight did! That's why I always carry a similar Cree LED bearing light with me when I film elevators. The ones I have are about 1000 lumen and 1800 lumen. www.amazon.com/Ultrafire-501B-Lumens-Power-Flashlight/dp/B0079EP0KK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468547903&sr=8-1&keywords=ultrafire+501b www.amazon.com/Convoy-Groups-Modes-Flashlight-Upgrade/dp/B00XW5PQ04/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1468548127&sr=8-5&keywords=convoy+m2

[@passacaglia28]

Those are some clean machines!

[@anthonyboarman3833]

beautiful building....

[@A2RA]

4:32 That is not a elevator, THAT IS A ROCKET!!!

[@ashwantnaidu9888]

HEY ANDREW. I DID'NT KNOW THAT WESTINGHOUSE MANUFACTURED ELEVATORS. WHEN DID THEY GET INTO ELEVATOR SECTOR. WE DONT HAVE THEM IN NZ

[@QuarioQuario54321]

1930s-1989, and only in the US, maybe Canada, France, and Germany

[@RanHam]

interesting that the counter weight is behind the elevator and not on the side

[@rodney1279TheFlip]

That golden passenger elevator I will say is very nice looking. As far as that freight elevator, that moves very fast for it to be that old. Dieselducy have you been to Chicago yet because there are plenty of elevators to go around in this city that you can get on?

[@elevatingtorontobytoronele1143]

I have gotten to ride it 3 times and drive it once to. Its amazing

[@PAelevators]

What about the time you said you had pre-permission and took it from the lobby

[@elevatingtorontobytoronele1143]

***** basement and i feel bad i did that

[@flashfocusbruh5144]

DieselDucy What are the names of the songs in 0:03 and 7:13?

[@mountaincentralelevatorsmore]

I love it DieselDucey

[@valquer2178]

Beautiful elevator dieselducy ;)

[@upanddownadventures]

Likely the highest rise manually controlled elevators in the world: Former tallest manual elevator: Empire State Building, NYC (freight cars, sadly modded in c. 2012) Likely the tallest working manual elevator that still exists: Chrysler Building, NYC (freight cars, still original as far as I know, Otis I think) Would love to see this one filmed but it doesn't seem likely.

[@upanddownadventures]

@NYT2002 KZbin never notified me of this comment, but I happened to come across it. I think I saw a photo of it on Instagram. I think the photo was since deleted.

[@Алекстроник]

And how do you draw so funny print on the photo ? through which program ?

[@SamSitar]

excellent looking brass elevator. in the service elevator how does he see where the floor calls are?

[@iangilldjsuperdude]

Like all manual service elevator’s, they all should have a buzzer or bell to signal the people on it that the elevator has been called.

[@Jowevator3219]

Dang how many elevators are there total in that lobby!?!?!?!

[@PAelevators]

24

[@scottschwed3529]

Was that indicator original

[@sarahnez3444]

4:33 wow

[@nickalbanese543]

I have a theory that the new Hampton inn Roanoke tour trailer is next to be uploaded 😀😀

[@elevatorottawa9065]

What about the low rise elevators

[@AgentRyanReidyElevatorM1-no3ue]

They've since covered the ceiling in the cab. You can no longer see up the shaft.

[@DieselDucy]

Ok

[@serviceaccount3982]

nice elevator i like it

[@andrewc1199]

That elevator is fast!!!

[@rayfridley6649]

That elevator is not manual anymore. It has been modernized to automatic since its installation.

[@thatelevatordude0697]

No it’s still original, both this one and the low freight.

[@exoticcar5482]

These still have selectomatic buttons from the 70s despite the more recent floor indicator mod

[@EWPA14]

The logic, & indicators have been replaced, but fortunately, the fixtures are still original from the 70’s.

[@NeilPrasad_1905]

The motors are gearless

[@Supergamer-tx9qf]

I just went to Reynolds ville pa

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

BADams Survivor Fixtures.

[@PAelevators]

Nope these are the original Westinghouse buttons from the 70s

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

***** But the fixtures are kinda like BADams Survivor.

[@PAelevators]
