Mod in progress: Kone/Dover Glass elevators @ The Renissance Hotel Nashville TN

[@Khaledamrouche11710]

You know what dieseldusy I love the way you filmed this elevator is very kind if filming when you said someone press 2 for me 😅

[@ElijahMagniez]

That looks like a very fast elevator, nice.

[@isaac24]

I LOVE the pattern on the lobby doors with the music notes!

[@DieselDucy]

Nashville is known as the music city so I guess it is appropriate :)

[@MMTfan1]

Awesome! This kinda reminds me of what I came across at the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs back in September. They had 70's Dover high hydraulics in banks of two in one of the hotel's many buildings. One elevator on each bank was in service; the other elevator was out of service and there were ThyssenKrupp technicians working on them. Filming them was a hassle, but I eventually got good takes as I knew there would be no second chance to film them. As of May 2014, the whole exterior of the building has been remodeled to resemble the other buildings and the elevators have been extensively modded, but the mirrors from the 70's Dovers remain.

[@hotelfan9936]

neshville town has a lot of tall places!!, i'm glad you are visiting down there!!, those are also fancy elevators!!

[@Fantech0104]

Nice mod! But I do not like the placement for the buttons for floors 1 - 4.

[@naomigauruder3152]

I could berrely see the buttons themselves

[@ericsturniolo]

My aunt took a video of those elevators for me last time she was in Nashville! Why do they have to be modernized? :(

[@amalbanik2675]

You don't know why? I will tell you why. Because it used to be Death Traps and broken

[@SamSitar]

those elevators are fast. mod is ok. good seeing a mod in progress.

[@STUAA2024]

That remaining Dover elevator got modernized, no more Dovers with the TK mod there as I saw the video made by NW Indiana Elevators

[@JoshCraver9000]

The old buttons looked MUCH better!

[@elevatordailies]

I agree but at least they went with what appears to be Innovation Prestige not the boring Universal package.

[@blueauraretriever]

I like Universal better because the whole button lights up and they are not that easy to press (trust me, I'm telling the truth because I've ridden a Kone elevator on my way back from Florida on August 3rd of this summer and it had Innovation Universal and it was hydraulic). I would have gone with Bruiser, NEMA 4X or Premier anyway. I still would have preferred the old Dovers, but Kone hasn't let me down yet, it's the Kone mockers!

[@LiftEnthusiast2020OFFTOPIC]

JoshCraver9000 i agree there they should have kept the ThyssenKrupps and just upgrade the motor

[@lucasnassar2778]

At least Kone has big buttons,better than nothing

[@isaac24]

I was here a few months ago. I wish I had gotten these elevators!

[@LAMFlickz]

If you ever have a chance to come out to Las Vegas, check out the Otis Scenic elevator at the LVH Hotel & Casino. It is a beauty.

[@Khaledamrouche11710]

thank you for making this video dieselducy elevator

[@DieselDucy]

Thanks for watching

[@Khaledamrouche11710]

You welcome

[@jasontan8564]

These are nice High-Speed Elevators.

[@jacobisworld9516]

0:36 you can see the state capital building 3:21 uh-oh What’s That Building You See.

[@DieselDucy]

Ok

[@ElevatorDude]

Installed in 1987, modernized 2013-2014.

[@handdryersrule]

My question is, why does the voice sound different than it used to today? Was it a software upgrade on every KONE elevator like this?

[@SpaceboyYT]

I have no idea. It is very rare. This Marriott replaced it with a different voice. There are only three elevators I know that have this voice. These include Chatfield Senior High School, Columbine High School, and Dakota Ridge High School.

[@DieselDucy]

Not sure

[@saxman112]

I was just in Nashville a few days ago!

[@IanGSully]

These elevators have new voices now!

[@TheRadicalreels]

Great views, great ride!

[@CoinHuntingDrew]

Going to be riding a Montgomery elevator tomorrow, maybe i'll get some footage.

[@sarahnez3444]

I wish I can go there

[@randomminecraftperson3981]

Why were they modding these? The original Dover controller didn't seem to have any issues.

[@elevatordailies]

It is called "progress", well not really.

[@cubsrule2040]

These elevators were modded before by ThyssenKrupp and then they get modded again by Kone. I remember seeing a video of these elevators from 2000 or 2001 when they had the original Dover fixtures.

[@DieselDucy]

the mod in early 2000s was simply a slap on.

[@cubsrule2040]

***** But the 2013 mod involves a controller upgrade as well right?

[@TheElevatorandAirplaneFinder]

+DieselDucy WOW👍🏻

[@22408aaron]

Honestly, with the amount of elevators and floors, they really should have installed Destination Dispatch. Also that floor passing beep is really annoying.

[@DieselDucy]

i completely agree..

[@elevatorsofnebraska7946]

That would have been a smart idea. At least they put in a voice though.

[@TheElevatorandAirplaneFinder]

+DieselDucy Yep. I'm not sure if they should have installed a destination dispatch

[@blueauraretriever]

Good thing is you're not the only elevator photographer against Kone. I love Kone, and don't see anything wrong with their elevators. Most of the time it's maintenance and other times it's due to the quality of the overall structure of the building which makes the EcoDisc suck. I adore this floor passing chime the most out of any Kone floor passing chime. It would have been even cooler if Kone modernized them into POLARIS but then again it's the hotel's decision and building contractor's decision to mod them that way.

[@22408aaron]

Since when did I say I was against KONE?

[@themaddasher7783]

That is a nice elevator.

[@upanddownadventures]

Were the other 4 complete, or was 1 under modernization?

[@BuildingToursForLife1660-4]

And also how do you know that the unmodded elevator has a dover thing

[@ElevatingOregonsince]

Ahh why did they choose KONE? They should've gone with a ThyssenKrupp mod! Higher quality!

[@blueauraretriever]

i would have chosen something better but at least the speed of these has been upgraded FRIRND

[@TheDragonFire123]

Kone MonoSpace-equivelent for this mod ain't a good choice. MiniSpace would have been better.

[@agitohd]

It's weird that some do not follow the logic of the buyer of the original company, that it should be the buying company responsible for the maintenance of the original elevator. Dover - TK, Montgomery- Kone, and Westinghouse - Schindler.

[@NyxKemo]

Wow, i love the voice on the elevators, it sounds better than other kone voices

[@DieselDucy]

It was nice!

[@SpaceboyYT]

It was a very rare voice. This Marriott replaced it with a different voice. There are only three elevators I know that have this voice. These include Chatfield Senior High School, Columbine High School, and Dakota Ridge High School.

[@jailenstewart2934]

Dieselducy in the hotel lobby look at all the elevator doors with music notes

[@BuildingToursForLife1660-4]

How do you know that 4 of these elevators are Kone

[@elevatorsinrussia2597]

At the very end of the video, did you get busted by employee man? Because I heard he saying "Stop photographing" or he is asking "Why are you photographing?".

[@16pdaddy]

+Russian Elevators I don't think

[@elevatorsofnebraska7946]

3:03 - 3:16 OMG that thing is a DT that rumbling and shaking sound is very severe

[@aaronbays4]

I live in Nashville, any time I'm near this building downtown walking around, I ride the elevator, its my favorite one in the city due to the crazy views. Although I will say the button placement on this elevator sucks. 1-5 have a bunch of meeting rooms, bars, pool, parking garage etc The buttons are way too low for you to read the text next to them, then the text is an awful font/color where you can't read it anyways. They need a directory at eye level explaining what's on the first 5 floors. And this hotel has been completely remodeled since this video was taken. I was there in fall 2018 and they had a big temp wall up in the lobby, but all their meeting space down on the first floor and two sub-basements was remodeled, the old convention center attached to the hotel was completely torn down and they were pouring foundations for the new building going up in its place at 5th/Broadway and 5th/Commerce. I'm also certain there are a couple more towers in that view from the elevator today vs in 2014 when this was taken, especially if you look to the right, you can see a couple parking lots, now they have towers there.

[@DougTrovinger]

I have to admit I live here in town and really am confused as all get out with the button placement. Really weird, LOL

[@GamingTohru698]

Nice modded elevator.

[@gantenggamingvlog3692]

Why Floors 24 And 25 Is Locked?

[@michaelwalterselevatorsrob5009]

they were probablyy Thyssenkeupps because on the unmodded elevator I saw MAD fixtures

[@DieselDucy]

+Michael Walters Elevators, Roblox, and More dover originally

[@tobeysze641]

Michael Walters Elevators, Roblox, and More Definitely Dover because of the door seal.

[@upanddownadventures]

Oh, you said it had an original controller. So it is mostly, but not completely original.

[@OPG2711]

That is a funny talking voice, and why is the alarm way up to the middle on the control panel?

[@TheElevatorandAirplaneFinder]

+Angela Weber It's just because there is a lot of buttons

[@vatorhunters]

I have a mod in progress video it's vector --> Crappy generic innovation buttons! The mod was done well and believe it or not THE FIXTURES WERE ADA COMPLIENT!!! the mod was done by Kone they run faster and smoother but the fixtures could've been kept there!!! (But looking back I remember the technician telling me they make new parts with the plastic or scrapping them to donate or something.)

[@coolman4678]

These new elevators are Fast!

[@DieselDucy]

Yep

[@charliep2240]

I am going to Nashville in March for my birthday

[@wandacapstick5476]

Why was 25 locked on elevator 3?

[@DieselDucy]

I don’t know.

[@techbros5282]

before it was thyssen krupp with a phone prank accident I could tell it was TK before because dover elevators dont have these buttons

[@hieeme]

Thank you so much

[@LtotheWtotheTD]

What fixtures are on the Dover elevator?

[@jackx.cassway]

Mad BS Moon.

[@16pdaddy]

kone is super!!!!

[@blueauraretriever]

amazing

[@alpzerlaken]

Very different than it was in 2000

[@blueauraretriever]

Seriously, the 660 FPM speed was overkill for a hotel around 330 FT tall. A speed of around 450 FPM would have been far better ! Nevertheless, KONE did a totally amazing job on this mod. Hornrt disc lifts give you the illusion of flying at 0G's

[@lucasnassar2778]

I rode a Thyssenkrupp Grife Export from my country with typing buttons,it's 500FPM until floor 34

[@kinglazerofinsane2194]

Is it a Hotel?

[@kimchou21]

dude u didn’t do the screen view ont he elevator

[@sylphloveboyz]

why do they want to mod the 1990 dover it looks better than the kone modernize lift

[@mszafran51]

The only thing that annoys me is that the button layouts are terrible! Why is the alarm in the middle?

[@aceee06]

Are 24 and 25 locked?

[@calvinkulit]

1st modern elevator:24 and 25 unlocked 2nd modern elevator:24 and 25 locked

[@joshfire117]

they've updated the elevators and floors if you go my channel you can see it later on in the video that actually updated the elevators

[@davidng2336]

Another one modernized. Once all have been modernized/replaced, Dover's legacy in the elevator industry will vanish forever.

[@tobeysze641]

The panel on the modded one is bad.

[@Allanapolis83232]

The 13th floor is noticed.

[@creamcake7793]

KONE is a Finnish brand and kone means a machine. (I'm finnish)

[@stampycatfan01lol]

Cool! KONE does an EXCELLENT job here in the USA, even though I like ThyssenKrupp the most!

[@blueauraretriever]

I agree. Damn! You're actually one of the very few elevator photographers in America who doesn't make a mockery out of Kone. I like their EcoDiscs due to the motor sound and their EcoMods due to the floor passing chime and the awesome Innovation and their own buttons. It would have been cooler if Kone began using EPCO and ADAMS buttons as well on their EcoMods.

[@stampycatfan01lol]

Specialty Elevators and UEE's by Technicalboy3000 IKR? Elevators are currently on hold due to school.

[@blueauraretriever]

stampycatfan01 Unless your school HAS an elevator like mine does! I ride my school's elevator all the time when the kids get roudy in the staircase and the wolf pack always goes HOWWWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLLL

[@stampycatfan01lol]

Specialty Elevators and UEE's by Technicalboy3000 What Wolf Pack are you talking about? Honestly, I love the Hartford Wolf Pack. Also, my school is only 1 floor.

[@OPG2711]

That is a REALLY low control panel!

[@TheElevatorandAirplaneFinder]

+Angela Weber What do you mean?

[@Rodj12341]

That second elevator you rode was shaky and sqeaky.

[@OPG2711]

Why not go to 24

[@TheElevatorandAirplaneFinder]

I completely agree...

[@ElevatorDude]

Ooh, blue Prestige.

[@charliep2240]

I like the voice

[@sundusqadri2584]

Awesome

[@DieselDucy]

Thanks

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

Destination dispatch would be better that this

[@jzban1067]

Why?

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

@@jzban1067 DD system knows how many people are in a elevator compares to standard multibay, DD is much more elegent

[@MeaghanEdwards]

Wow, swanky.

[@ElevatingArizonaByGageWilliams]

Kover

[@calvinkulit]

The call buttons are innovation universal

[@BCsVators]

Calvin Abad Nope, Dover Classic.

[@LtotheWtotheTD]

No innovation fixtures

[@mareecrawford5672]

Scottish voice???

[@Nicsou77]

ThePCExpert99 the voice on these have changed

[@TheElevatorPlanet]

I kind of liked the Dover one's better.

[@AndersonHobbyBoy]

Those buttons look Otis

[@DieselDucy]

Innovation

[@jackrchristmas2934]

wow

[@thewildeeper]

What a stupid button layout, having the alarm in the middle of the panel!

[@DieselDucy]

yeah it is a bad layout, you have to crouch WAY down to press one!

[@thewildeeper]

You do, I wouldn't! Haha

[@TheElevatorandAirplaneFinder]

+DieselDucy The second elevator you rode, it looked like it went Faster than the others

[@TheElevatorandAirplaneFinder]

+thewildeeper That is really funny. I don't know why they wouldn't put an express zone instead

[@TheElevatorandAirplaneFinder]

+DieselDucy Why would you have to crouch? I saw you didn't on the first elevator. I'm not sure about the second elevator

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

Cool 🔼 Then🔽

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

Also are you going to retrieve the old buttons

[@ElevatingArizonaByGageWilliams]

That has to be the worst panel layout I've ever seen. Also, terrible floor beep.
