Main OTIS (Schindler Mod) TXPress Scenic Traction Elevators - Stamford Town Center - Stamford, CT

[@NewEnglandElevators]

A lot of people seem to ignore the description and simply assume these are 6400NA. Despite the fact they're similar, these are NOT 6400NA. These were modded in 2013, a year before 6400NA came out (2014)...unless this was a prototype installation.

[@OPG2711]

As of early 2018, Schindler has renamed it to "6400". Most TXpress modernizations use "400A" chimes, but it can have 500A chimes as well. TXpress came out in 2001 with 500A.

I can still smell the clorhine from the fountains

[@elevatorproductionsbymaxpassa]

I hope you can film videos of the elevators at Tower Square and Monarch Place in Downtown Springfield.

[@NewEnglandElevators]

If I am ever there, than sure.

[@ElevatingDenver]

I noticed the chimes on these new Schindler mods aren't exactly the same as the HT chime but VERY similar, I don't know how to explain how they're different but I can tell they are. And at 1:55, I wonder how big the freight elevator is here to be able to get that car up there.

[@NewEnglandElevators]

Elevating Denver Those two cars on display actually happen to be on a parking level. Although they're not in the lot itself, it seems easy enough to get the car in the mall. All that would need to be done is to just drive the car from the nearby entrance, and through some large door. I doubt it would be the standard entry doors. Maybe there's some sort of service corridor with some sort of garage door, I'm not too sure. It's fascinating to see cars inside a mall like this.

[@NewEnglandElevators]

Elevating Denver It seems like the chime here has a slightly softer sound than the typical HT chime. It's not the video doing that, I've noticed that in any TXpress or HXpress mod as opposed to the real thing. I have no idea why this would be, probably because the chime is more optimized for the HT components (to sound from the speakers in the HT lanterns/panel). I noticed this in a HXpress a few years ago. The elevator had the typical 330A chimes with a Monitor Controls panel. Same sort of thing, the chimes were slightly softer than a normal 330A HT. It's interesting when you think about it.

[@ElevatingDenver]

***** Yes, I wonder if it maybe was done intentionally. In a way the up/down chimes sound quite a lot like the 500A chimes but shorter. I noticed even in the 1980's, Schindler used similar chimes to those used on 400A and 500A. I rode a Schindler-Haughton elevator not too long ago with a very similar chime to 500A.

[@NewEnglandElevators]

I can see where they got the idea to use that specific chime in their current 500A products. Which elevator is this, this sounds interesting!

[@ElevatingDenver]

***** 500A is no longer made, but if these were modded before December 2013 they could be 500A. But if they were modded in 2014, I'd say these are 400A. Also, the 6400NA uses the same chimes heard on these elevators. But I think we determined they aren't 6400NA.

[@TechNerdNolan]

These might be 6400NA Prototypes because I looked for regular 6400NAs, they look nothing like these

[@blueauraretriever]

I AM DEFFO MAKING A TRIP HERE ON MIDWINTER

[@gregdiamond4591]

I love these elevators i go there and i ride them these used to be otis lexan mod by schindler and they will not be modernized again

[@NewEnglandElevators]

These were some cool ones, next to the 400A's in the garage. Sure, I would have liked to see the original Lexan, but I like the Schindler enhancements here.

[@SERSafety]

Nice!

[@NewEnglandElevators]

Grant Bansemer These are cool elevators, indeed! Glad to see you showed interest in these.

[@747sooner]

I was just here today!

[@blueauraretriever]

HOLY CRAP I NEED TO RIDE THESE ELEVATORS ASAP BEFORE THEY GET MURDERNIZED AGAIN

[@NewEnglandElevators]

These were just modded in 2013. I have no idea why they would mod them a little less than four years after the mod.

[@blueauraretriever]

***** Still this mod was AWESOME! I love those Schindler concave buttons a lot! they remind me of the Schindler Eurolift MRLs which BENO has filmed a while back

[@NewEnglandElevators]

These concave buttons are awesome, and they do add a bit of "Euro" in these elevators. Not just the buttons add to the "Euro" feel, but the chimes too. The buttons are actually made by MADBS, and I have a link to their catalog in the description in this video. They're the BS Moon buttons on the Caesar plates.

[@blueauraretriever]

***** wow. I hope my school's elevator gets MAD BS Moon.

[@TechNerdNolan]

This will probably be the last mod on these

[@Bombiedude.]

Probably when these were otis lexens they were very advanced because otis lexans werent known for being advanced back in the day

[@firealarmperson4774]

Was this in downtown Connecticut or somewhere like that?

[@NewEnglandElevators]

This was in downtown Stamford, CT.

[@firealarmperson4774]

+NewEnglandElevators oh okay.

[@GaryBeltz]

What were you censoring with the little black squares the first time you went toward the roof?

[@NewEnglandElevators]

Gary Beltz Face is visible in window; don't want it here on yt.

[@GaryBeltz]

Ah C''mom show us us your pretty face 😄

[@TechNerdNolan]

@@GaryBeltz lol

[@BostonElevatorDude]

Didn't CVE9120 film these b4 they got modded

[@WestCoastElevators]

jim mcintyre Yes, CVE9120 filmed these before they were modded.

[@NewEnglandElevators]

jim mcintyre WestCoast Elevators : Yes, he did. If you compare this video to his, you'll probably notice how much better they run now compared to the Lexan days. It's really a step up from the original system.

[@BostonElevatorDude]

Do you remember the kitchen elevator at the Sheraton boston? I looked it it and saw some TKE! IT WAS MODDED

[@NewEnglandElevators]

That wouldn't surprise me if it got modded. It seems like all the elevators in that place were overhauled by ThyssenKrupp, including the kitchen elevator.

[@OPG2711]

Do you have a video?

[@anthony020501]

Schindler 6400NA

[@NewEnglandElevators]

anthony020501 Read description, and other comments. This was done before the 6400 was introduced in 2014.

[@elevatorsinrussia2597]

6400NA.

[@NewEnglandElevators]

TXPress; assuming that product was still available in 2013 when these were modded. The 6400NA came out in 2014.

[@blueauraretriever]

YO I AM DEFFO COMING TO STAMFORD TO FILM THESE OVER PRESIDENT WEEK BREAK

[@OPG2711]

@ElevatorsinRussia Nope, TXpress. I have been on a few with those chimes modernized between 2001 and 2013.

[@TechNerdNolan]

@@OPG2711 these actually might be a prototype

[@OPG2711]

Not sure if they would make a prototype for a minor model change, but it’s possible.

[@elevatordailies]

I know of something even way more fun to ride. Search for Sky Screamer, best theme park ride that is not a roller coaster.

[@NewEnglandElevators]

Dial "E" For Elevator I've heard of those things; they seem a little too scary for me...maybe it's just me thinking about dangling from only a cable, I'm not sure.

[@elevatordailies]

***** I can understand that. I used to work at at Six Flags park at a roller coaster.
