Montgomery Hydraulic Elevators - Clarion Hotel - Concord, CA

[Recorded 7-9-21] These are the elevators in the newer building at the Clarion Hotel. These were formerly Montgomery elevators with A-Series. They both received ugly PTL slap-ons as well as obnoxiously loud fans. I was expecting these to be traction but they're actually hydros. I have a feeling Schindler may have done this mod because the floor indicators change right before the car leaves the floor and beep much later after the next number is shown. Pretty boring elevators I must say. Even though they were Montgomery, they're pretty boring now.

Halls Coughdrop buttons!

[@SPS8elevatorsoflakecounty]

HAHA all they need is a yellowish tint

[@baelevatorsmore728]

Oof. Halls. No thanks. Forgot I had a vitamin-C drop on my desk though. Lol.

[@LOVElevators]

I like the wood cab, but it's a bit disappointing that these were slap-on modded.

[@michaelwalterselevatorsrob5009]

Well at least they went with PTL instead of innovation

[@Fli-s2h]

How can you tell if an elevator is traction or hydraulic?

[@Jowevator3219]

The sound and the way the car moves. Also the elevator certificates say it if you’re still not sure

[@SPS8elevatorsoflakecounty]

Also, if an elevator is more than 8 floors, then it is for sure traction.

[@baelevatorsmore728]

@@SPS8elevatorsoflakecounty Unless it’s that one that Andrew filmed.

[@baelevatorsmore728]

Would’ve loved to see these when they were A-Series. However, this mod doesn’t seem too bad. I think I’ve seen worse.

[@SPS8elevatorsoflakecounty]

Eh, could’ve been worse. PTL is pretty decent

[@elevating_western_washington]

Meh, these look pretty boring. I’ve always liked CA Code PTL Performer though.

[@elevliamyt]

boRing... It would have been cool to see these elevators when they were original.

[@caltrain_928]

Used to be cool, now boring.

[@VancityElevators]

yuck, this elevator is literally 99.9% not interesting
