Westinghouse Hydraulic Elevator at Macys - North Star Mall - San Antonio, TX

[@margaretyoung1861]

Best motor i have ever heard on a Westinghouse

[@stlelevators]

I feel like I’ve heard better but I can’t remember without looking at other videos.

[@mallguy8970]

Yep, it's an A pitched motor!!!

[@mallguy8970]

That motor sounds just like a humming voice of a beautiful singing lady.

[@jettblack000]

I love the arcade here - there's nothing else like it for many hours by car. Went less than two weeks ago and you can easily spend over 12 hours, if you know what games to play. I'd definitely say it's the mall's primary attraction.

[@elevatorswithESH]

Awesome find! I’ve actually seen this elevator before and have always wanted to film it

[@stlelevators]

It's a neat one.

[@Elevatorsandmovieswithanthony]

I was here last weekend and found this thing. As i noticed the brails on the inside were missing and the chimes were modernized

[@mallguy8970]

This was installed in 1981.

[@danieltransit7677]

[@Elevatingtransportation678]

[@mallguy8970]

EPIC MOTOR!!!

This is why my favorite letter was A.

Not modded rode that on my recent vacation to San Antonio that mall has some good ones. Rode that when the store was Foley’s too. Deerbrook mall in Humble has a similar store design. The food court elevator at North Star used to be a Dover impulse when I was a kid.

[@mallguy8970]

Is the speed 125 FPM?

[@stlelevators]

Not sure

[@carselevators930]

I've seem that elevator in person. I remember when it had that annoying beeping smoke detector too.

[@stlelevators]

I’ve seen fire alarms but I don’t think I’ve seen a regular smoke alarm.

[@chasem8491]

@@stlelevators the smoke detector is inside the 3rd floor ceiling that is somehow been blocked off and been chirping for at least a decade now.
