The Signal-Control car (possibly the highest rising remaining Signal-Control installation in the US) indeed got modded. I really hope the one in Pittsburgh doesn't get modded as it is the one and only known surviving Otis Signal-Control installation in the US, and they are probably near-extinct at least in the US/Canada. I think at least some of the low rise cars were original and in passenger service (with operators running them) before the D & B mod with Innovation Universal. I think all of the high rise cars are Otis, but from what I heard some of the low rise cars were Otis and some were actually Curtis I think? If so I am VERY curious what the Curtis cars looked like. Did you see the manual Otis Micro-Drive freight car from the outside or get any photos of it? When I was here the doors to the freight elevator lobby were open on some/all floors I think. Is that one still completely original to your knowledge including the controller? I ask since I know of some manual elevators that still have some of the original fixtures including the car switch, but are on new controllers and have full self leveling (will stop at the next floor if you let go of the car switch). Did you film the low rise cars or did you skip those? I think some of the cars in the low rise bank are defunct, and one is sitting with it's doors open likely in the basement/lobby, did you see that?

From what I've been told by Northeast Elevators, there's apparently a 42 story Signal Control at The Terminal Tower in Cleveland. Nobody has since gone in there to get a video to confirm this, but supposedly there are a few Signal Controls as well as some Manual Freights remaining in that building. I did in fact see the Manual Otis Elevator on the outside and I got a small video looking at it and trying to call it, but that's pretty much it, and when I asked to ride, I was denied access. I believe it is still fully original, but I'm not 100% positive. And regarding the low rise elevators, yes I skipped them. I did check both the lobby and the basement to see if the Signal Control cars were open but the doors for all of the elevators were shut unfortunately.
