I love how they still kept the indicator original. It’s still the classic indicator, and im pretty sure they had that before the mod iirc

I gotta say, Schindler definitely hit it out of the park with this mod but the westys will definitely be missed

Wow, all the Sikorsky, Yeager, Earhart, and Armstrong Elevators are all finished. But the cabs are still the same though.

I’m glad I came here at the right time in 2022, when there were some modded and some original. Actually most of them were still original. The westies were definitely fun to ride and i wish i could have ridden them one last time, but the Schindler mod is great!

And after watching some more, i LOVE the new voices. I’m glad they kept the original voice lines, but now it’s a female voice instead of a male voice. That’s a SUPER nice touch

No way, I was at TPA myself today at the same time you posted this! It's too bad these got modded, but I think Schindler did a good job with the mod. Some of the elevators in the long term garage still have male voices!

Oh wow lol. And yeah I'd completely agree. As for the long term garage voice, sure it's a male voice but it's not the same one the elevators had prior to the mod

@FloridianElevators Yeah, too bad it's not the same voice, but I feel like it keeps some of the spirit of the original elevators.

All in all, this mod was very Tasteful and very well done. I love how the indicators remained analog on all of the elevators and the overall layout of these elevators is the exact same as it was before. All things considered, the mod went as well as it could've, but regardless of who modded these and what fixtures they go, the Westies will definitely be missed

I used to see one when I was 6, but it got modernized.

They are getting to be VERY RARE. They're extremely hard to get parts for and with the way Westinghouse elevator selectors are designed, many techs hate/don't know how to work on them and they're not exactly the greatest quality elevators from a reliability standpoint in regards to the controllers. I love Westinghouse elevators a LOT, they have a TON of character and I HATE seeing them get modded, but unfortunately it's not without reason. Now, for the case of Otises from the same time period, that's a different story.

At this point if you want to ride an Original Westy of any kind, your best bet is to take a trip to either Pittsburgh or Cleveland or Chicago or Milwaukee as Westinghouse was big there. Everywhere else though, there's only a select few Westies remaining if any are even remaining at all

Floridian Elevators I never knew they played music in an elevator. I wish I could make field recordings of elevators. How did you make it so the wind noise wasn't too strong? As I am sight challenged, I always try to make sure recordings are made of only the sounds that I want to hear. I wanna try doing recordings outside, but I sometimes worry about strong winds distorting the smooth sounds of a recording.
