Brand New Cabs! - Express Elevators at Marriott Copley Place - Boston, MA
I took this on May 11. Never uploaded it. The express elevators now have the same design as the low rise. I wasn't expecting to find these, so I didn't have my good camera with me, just my Droid. The doors take FOREVER to close now.
Note: The RFID reader may just be for the concierge levels, same as the card reader in the past. They could also decide to keycard the whole panel. All the room locks are currently being upgraded to the RFID pads.

Thyssen Traction Elevators in Leipziger Straße 47 - Berlin, Deutschland
มุมมอง 82012 ปีที่แล้ว
Bank of 3. Speed around 350 fpm. Obv. it's actually calibrated to m/s. Installed 1971, modernized (or replaced in 1991). It's likely they replaced a lot of the equipment because the Soviets used junk in these towers.

Pretty much every elevator in Switzerland is Schindler, so it's a safe bet this was originally Schindler too. I know that this is not a brand new elevator from 2012 because there were floorplans of the hotel dated 2001 that show the elevator existing.

The lobby lanterns look like Montgomery G&P, especially with the clear arrows that light up red and green and the number font is very Montgomery (see the Alewife video). This is one of the tallest parking garages in the city. This bank of 2 elevators serves 9 above-ground floors and 2 sub-surface levels for a total of 11 levels. The name of this alley comes from a long history - it started as "...

These are awesome elevators in the MCPHS Matricaria Academic & Student Center. Sadly, this is a down trip only because the campus is high security. Please DO NOT try to gain unauthorized access to this building or the elevators. MCPHS is a secure campus with guards at every entrance. All building occupants (students and staff) in any MCPHS building must be wearing their MCPHS lanyards and RFID ...

These elevators got a Kruppy mod in 2013 and this tower is now part of the Northeastern University dorms.
This elevator has been modded in 2020 by Excel.
This was installed in 1999.
The buttons are actually not EPCO SSL. I learned this from a mechanic. They are actually Innovation Bruiser. The reason they look a bit different is because they have mirror finish stainless steel instead of the more common brushed finish. Notice the reflection in the button. Compare it with the ones in this video, which you cannot see a reflection. th-cam.com/video/W51orOD7vV4/w-d-xo.html Also, next time you're there. Feel the edges of the buttons. To your surprise, you will notice that they are slanted and not rounded, just like all bruiser buttons. They may push different because the mechanics of the buttons have changed over the years. The key switches and fire/emergency indicators should be the dead giveaway that it's not EPCO. EPCO never used raised key switches or indicators. SSL never used raised indicators and also have rounded edges. I've also seen these buttons at several locations in person and was surprised the edges are angled. It's the reflection that causes the distorted appeance. They are still made today. You just have to specify mirror finished steel when ordering.

I used to stay at this hotel a lot for medical purposes as it's right across the street from Children's Hospital Boston. This video brings back so many memories.
It's a holeless hydraulic elevator
This was modded by Schindler, but around 2015 I believe, this and the escalators were ripped out because the upper level SEARS was converted into a Primark. The SEARS closed in 2018. The South Shore Plaza SEARS in Braintree also did that, but is now 2 stories as it was a 3 story building. The elevator (Westinghouse) is still there.
IT'S A TRACTION ELEVATOR
This is actually a 321A
Nope, I believe this was installed later than we thought. Several details suggest 330A. It just has the specs 321A can also have.
330A. The door jamb on the top is the giveaway.
I believe this was installed in the 90's because from the 90's to the early 2000's they used mt fixtures. Also this would be a schindler Ht if it was modernized in 2006
Both need to watch some race cars
The motor on this has since been replaced.
Those look like 500As
Lol
Are these complete replacements of the original elevators, or are they the original elevators but heavily modernized?
They are not the originals and they are not even in the same location as the originals. I've found the tower's original plans in Boston's archives. The tower's original elevators from 1915 when the building was used as an office tower were a bank of 3 in a row in the front of the tower. Marriott gutted the entire building in 1997 and relocated the elevators to the center as part of the renovations.
@@ElevatingBoston I went here. According to the front desk person, there are only 3 elevators in the building (the bank of 2 going to 19, and the 1 going to 26). No service or freight elevators. So it is likely safe to say the original elevators are gone.
@@upanddownadventures Yes, that's correct. The original elevators were in the corner of the building and they needed that space for hotel rooms, so they were completely removed and shafts filled in.
You're uninvited to elevator number 5 and to the 12th forever.

Hey, Elevating Boston! This store is now Newbury Comics!
This elevator was modernized by Schindler in 2010. Then the store closed forever in 2018 and was later demolished.
One of my favorite modernizations.

This has since been modernized by Schindler.
Sadly, as of now, this is in the process of getting a Schindler (or thyssenkrupp) mod. w/ MAD BS Moon.
Is this a public elevator
You do realise thyssenkrupp lifts are NOT junk?
321A.
Nope, I believe this was installed later than we thought. Several specs suggest 330A.

Newbury Comics now stands in the space.

This is actually a Westinghouse
