Westinghouse Selectomatic Mark IV Traction Elevators with tasteful RT mod! :D

Filmed on October 26, 2017: This is located at JPMorgan Chase & Company Tower in Downtown Houston, TX. These were located right behind the decommissioned original Westinghouse black button service elevator that I showed you last winter. These did get modernized using the RT fixtures, but turns out that everything else is original. The cabs, on the other hand, has been updated. Still none the less awesome!!!! :D Love the original bells & lanterns, interlock, and that old Westinghouse door track. Don't also forget the original annunciator in the lobby!!! :D This was filmed after hours is why the upper floors were locked. I will do a more better take next time I am here again. Installed in 1950's or 60's, modernized in the 90's.

Even if it's nodded, it's one of best I've ever seen!

[@ElevatorsInternational]

Now that's you Modernize an elevator.

[@JimLiElevators]

Exactly.

[@innovativekawneer56]

I mean, the modernization isn't terrible, but I still like the classics.

[@JimLiElevators]

Indeed! :D

[@PAelevators]

I been on so many select-o-matic I'm sick of them. nice find though

[@prsjvhstar2007]

I'd like to know if Westinghouse still produces the traffic panel (which was seen on the wall), or if the same panel can be made to order

[@Nicholas992]

This is Schindler

[@JimLiElevators]

Yes, Schindler did the mod.

[@OPG2711]

This is also in the same building as the 34-story PORTs that had RT with shiny panels and the blue indicators, right (I’m wondering since there are two Chase Centers in downtown Houston)?

[@JimLiElevators]

Correct! But be careful filming anywhere in Downtown Houston as you can get busted immediately. People in Houston nowadays hate photography.

[@OPG2711]

Of course. Also, does this place have 13th and 14th floors, and if so, how are they accessed?

[@JimLiElevators]

I don’t remember.

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

EW RT!

[@JimLiElevators]

Not the worst RT I have seen compared to a Schindler hydro.

[@JimLiElevators]

But I am SO GLAD they didn't go with Innovation or Epco Circleline unlike the 6-story one!!!

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

JimLiElevators I dislike EPCO unless on SCHINDLER’S ONLY. But I love Innovation a lot IMO

[@JimLiElevators]

I hate Innovation all in general. PERIOD! I used to like Premier & Prestige, but I have seen way too much of those now that I am no longer a fan of them anymore.

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

JimLiElevators Like at Pioneer Place that recently got modded with I really hate to say but, Slap on modded with Innovation by KONE. It matched the Mall the gold/chrome brass panel at least, They just replaced the buttons. Used to be Adams. I have one of the Call Button and the COP. They kept everything original on it.
