@@DnD_Robb404 Yeah. Most of the time I see it is in parking garages or the like.

most garages with 300a cabs I’ve seen used standard MT or RT fixtures for some reason. MT VR fixtures should be more common than they are.

I agree. Would have liked to see the impulse fixtures. I think they may have been on the original controllers though.

Yeah. There are 3 other mall freighters here and they are all in the same kind of condition. The inner gate was replaced at one point, but that’s about it as far as upkeep goes.

Hey how have you been? Hope you’re doing good too! Haven’t talked to you for quite some time.

​@@elevatorfan7568Yeah ik it's been a while. I'm doing okay.

Oh nice. It’s a really cool building.

nice

I have no idea tbh. It’s possible that they did maintain them at some point and just replaced that hall station with traditional. Still very odd though.

Yeah this place was way bigger than I expected it to be lol. The hotel starts on floor 5, and goes the rest of the way up.

Oh wow that’s awesome! These are pretty cool, and very classy.

Yeah I just didn’t know exactly what model in the CIM series it was. Ik there is a CIM 25, and a CIM 20, but this one has that odd capacity of 1,500 pounds.

Actually then it might not be, I'm not entirely sure.

Yeah they are very beautiful! They were originally installed in 1881 as Westinghouse that were manually controlled, and then modernized in the 1950s, and then modded again in the 1990s, which is their current state. The building is super historic as well!

Yeah with a capacity of only 1,500 pounds!

Wow..

Yeah I need to film some more of this piano sometime!

Yeah probably said Marshall and/or Dover at some point.

Yeah it’s such a shame to see them slowly fall apart, and each store close up for good. And that would be cool, a museum showcasing all of their history.

Nope. Sadly no vectors.

The Macy’s has Westinghouse, just like the former Sears at this mall.

No. No more stores are closing at this mall as far as I know. Macy’s is still still doing very well at this mall, and so is Nordstrom. And this mall is actually thriving and doing very good. There are always people here, and it’s definitely one of the most popular, if not the most popular mall in the Pittsburgh area.

That mall needs some entertainment options, such as Dave & Buster’s, Round1 or Main Event. Any of those can go in the former department stores there.

D&B is already at The Block Northway, which is a near-by mall. I don't think any of the other 1s will come either due to D&B competition.

They might demolish the old Sears building and put a movie theater and/or an outdoor promenade in its place.

They are planning on demolishing it & adding more mall space there, which includes the relocation of the food court, adding more stores, & a theater, which would be on an added 3rd floor. However these plans came in 2018 & there's been no news about it since 2019. Right now Sears is just gutted.

Yeah if this store closes eventually, it’d be nice if the parts went to someone, and don’t end up in the garbage.

Such as Andrew (DieselDucy), he needs to travel to PA. He had an elevator museum called the elevaTOURS international elevator museum in a storage facility in Roanoke, VA. You need to visit there sometime.

@@mariokart8715 Yes I should visit there sometime.

And Andrew needs to retrieve those elevator parts from that JCPenney

@@mariokart8715 Dual lanterns is common for center-opening versions. I don't think this is going anywhere, & even if it is the parts probably won't be saved.

Depends how JCPenney continues to perform, and if they can stay afloat with all the other retailers, but by the looks of it, they probably won’t be around much longer sadly.

Yeah this one was installed pretty recently. And yes, you can pretty much just walk in, but this was shot on a weekend when the church was open. I’m not exactly sure of what days and times the church is open to the public, but it’s definitely open on the weekend at certain times because of services and masses going on.

Oh nice, I saw some videos on your channel. Sadly I didn’t have any time to film anything else on campus cause I was here for an event, and even though I did not get a video of them, I did see the Dovers that are in the parking garage right across from here with those VR lanterns.

Oildraulic was Dover’s (then carried over by ThyssenKrupp) hydraulic elevator series of models. They came in many different specifications, but were all under the Oildraulic name. Oildraulic was finally ended by TKE in 2012, and replaced with the Endura model.

@@elevatorfan7568 Oh, interesting. Thanks for the info!

@@elevators_of_southern_ontario Oh no problem!

Yeah I agree, they’re definitely worn, but still run well. And I was here on the same day I uploaded this. Came to Bakery Square after attending an event at CMU, so I decided to film these.

Thanks!

I didn’t sadly. I only rode the ones in the east garage, but hopefully next time I come back I’ll be able to film them! They look very nice, from what I saw in your video.

Yeah after I looked this up, I really see how many people filmed this! You’re not really missing much though Lol

Yeah. Somethings wrong with it either on the door or on the controller.

Yeah it was extremely frustrating lol. Something obviously has to be fixed with the controller.

Yeah it definitely is! Cab is nice, and it runs very well!

Yeah possibly. If that company is local to Maryland or other nearby states, then that could be the case.

They're based in Prince George's County. They're very present in MD, WV, & VA. Although normally they label their elevators.

Yeah I agree, I’ve always thought that these have ran nicely.

Yeah it’s an early model 211.

Yes I believe they are gear-less.

Yeah I agree.
