The Famous Hotel Roanoke Elevators got MODERNIZED by OTIS

Otis did a fantastic job with this mod!

[@DylanLTindall]

This is how to properly mod an elevator. Otis and CJ Anderson did an awesome job at keeping the historic look.

[@Photoelectric_Elevators]

Probably one of the the best mods we have ever seen on any elevator. Otis always does good with elevator mods.

[@SamSitar]

car operating panel is the best part.

[@Fantech0104]

This modernization is quite tasteful! I'm so not used to hearing the Otis voice with CJ Anderson buttons. That"s pretty neat. I like the cabs too.

[@evana6425]

Their modernization is amazing and I’m super happy and proud that they kept most parts original. Hotel Roanoke did a amazing job with these. Hopefully it will be like that in America

[@handdryersrule]

Great that they kept the charm of the original elevators

[@CenTexElevators489]

I am so glad these elevators were modernized in an excellent manner, especially with the CJ Anderson Architectural Historic Series-2 fixtures.

[@BostonElevatorDude]

CJA and a Gen2 voice? Am I not the only enthusiast that thinks that's strange. Also, did they pull a uno reverse and decide not to decommission the side elevator? I thought they were going to...

[@PAelevators]

I guess so. Andrew and I were both in shock as the Hotel management told him other wise.

[@louisworld6008]

@@PAelevators I wonder who could be modernizing the side elevator ?

[@PAelevators]

@@louisworld6008 it’s all OTIS

[@alternatehobbies]

it started out as the Gen2 voice, but it's used on all of Otis's product lines now. from hydrofit mods, to traction mods (Elev R and Gen2), to new Gen2/Hydrofit installs. they're able to do all the fancy stuff with the newer controllers

[@elevatingthemidwest2379]

Big W for Otis and the Hotel Roanoke. And I am shocked that they decided not to decommission the side elevator.

[@COandOH6675]

If the market garage elevator gets modded, I will be 💀

[@DylanLTindall]

It's not getting modded anytime soon.

[@mariokart8715]

Good. Because they’re 2 of Andrew’s favorite and famous elevators.

[@user-ec5ke8dn2u]

Good mod. They did a good job at keeping the old feel and not slapping on some ugly gen 2 silver panel in that beautiful cab.

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

At least Otis did a good job of making the mod look great

[@bsvenadam]

Otis - installed in 1930s Otis - modernized in 1990s Otis with CJ anderson - modernized in 2023

[@vancouverelevators_transit]

Ok, I was not expecting this. Hopefully Andrew got the parts.

[@mariokart8715]

He did and they’re now in the elevator museum.

[@icecolespears]

Very gnarly

[@ElevatorsOfTennessee]

I was one of the first elevator enthusiast to discover the modding was in progress :(

[@PAelevators]

It’s not a race or a competition. We’ve technically known before the mod started. The hotel reached out to Andrew personally.

[@Thecaliforniaelevatorchannel]

I agree this mod was quite tasteful but I love the CJ Andersen fixtures but these could be a bit faster

[@BrytonJones6063]

Amazing one bro

[@literalyammer]

woah it has a decent speaker unlike some otis mods ive seen

[@josephbletsas6314]

Wonderful mod

[@LDTV22OfficialChannel]

IT'S NEO-ANTIQUE!

[@DavidsElevatorsandmore]

Awesome mod I love it

[@statecollegewx4060]

I miss the old ones already

[@mariokart8715]

DieselDucy got parts from them for the elevator museum.

[@bsvenadam]

But you say this side elevator is decommissioned

[@PAelevators]

The hotel changed there mind and decided to modernize it

[@bsvenadam]

@@PAelevators but how why is hotel is changed the update

[@mariokart8715]

Idk. Has the side elevator been modded by Otis too? I’m not sure if Andrew got any parts from that one.

[@bsvenadam]

@@mariokart8715 he get custom innovation panels of main elevators

[@jacobflanigan6343]

Custom Otis mod!!!!!!

[@NyxKemo]

Amazing mod but that phone button placement is horrible

[@mariokart8715]

And tiny indicators.

[@carselevators930]

I still can’t get over the fact that they used CJ Anderson! Now that’s much better than the usual mod

[@pafl_elevators]

I have never seen Otis do a mod with CJ Anderson buttons before! Plus those new cabs are 🔥🔥
