Nope you had a great time with Aaron and Jason and you had a safe ride on these beautiful elevators that’s the main thing. Perfect night to discover these Schindlers and that was a fun ride. These elevators are not even questionable to me and they run extremely great
Honestly, the old elevators from before the mod remind me of a worse version of the elevators in my very own college residence hall. My building contains a bank of 2 elevators, and they act just like the elevators in this video, but a bit more predictable and rarer to catch a glitch. I’ve had both of them stop on a random floor and open. Car 2 parked while I was inside, even though I had a floor pressed, which was fixed by pressing the button again. Car 1 sometimes flashes the letter Z on the indicators for a split second. Car 1 is also the worst one, as it got stuck with people trapped inside on two occasions (the fire department even showed up for at least one of the rescues), and in addition also seems far less precise with leveling than car 2. Car 2 seems reliable at least, even when busy as a result of car 1’s outages. Another oddity: the ground floor button is labeled “*1” in car 1, and “L” without a star in car 2!! If anyone was wondering, they’re 50s Otis’s with an early 2000s generic mod. They got new floor and wall finishes, GAL doors and the Adams/EPCO square braille-wrapped buttons that kind of resemble Otis series 1.
@@DieselDucy Turned out the reason why car 1 in my residence hall was getting stuck wasn’t a failing component after all: What they found was, items had been shoved/dropped into the elevator shafts and started to jam the mechanisms. Really sucks since it’s on us now, and all our housing prices have been slightly raised to cover the repair cost. Still just as glitchy as ever, but a bit smoother and less “sticky” so far.

Wow these are absolutely horrendous, they need to be modernized like today, there’s no saving this elevator. I would have never had the courage to keep riding it. I would have been off like Jason after the first ride.
0:08 “Market Parking Garage of the Midwest” 😂
yep lol
Midwest’s version of a famous deck as Roanoke’s version is the Market deck.
@@DieselDucy This is Jason's final ride on W9
W9 Copied W5
@@DieselDucy W9 Falled down to the black level
Aaron:this elevator is way over leveled
Elevator:ight imma fix myself
yep lol
0:40 - Interesting level identyfication. 🤔 No floor numbers, but the colors. 😮
Best regards from Poland, Andrew! 😊
Thanks! 😃
The old schindlers are back for the video!
Yep!
nope those are the last ones
🙁
@@Samwawa_Videos ?
@@DieselDucy All the elevators are modernized except east southeast
After watching this, the Elmwood elevator doesn’t seem so bad.
Agreed!
These were so fun to ride lol. Kind of makes me sad that these quirky things got modded but so glad Jason invited me over.
Yes they are.
There is still an unmodernized bank left in the east garage

They run terrible. The new ones are nice though.
They need maintenance but the main thing is you didn’t got stuck
Awesome video
Thanks for the visited
I remember having a Schindler RT do this in 2005 with the nudge mode sound between floors.
awesome.
Downtown St. Louis' Finest Elevators are at it again!
yep. modded.
1:03 At least it fixed itself.
Modded now.
This is a very fine and dandy video.
It really was.
4:32 When you get stuck the elevator sounds like the Nudge Mode
I know right ?
I beat Super Mario 3 for the first time this weekend; the only one out of the originals I hadn’t yet beaten! I know you’re a beast at that game!
Awesome!
Schindler quality at it's finest. Just like Major Taylor, but traction.
lol. True.
@@DieselDucy Now you need just 1, or no outer doors to open at any given landing(s), complete the Major Taylor Bingo card. :)
The Black level in the East parking garage has black walls with white text.
Yes it does! Just noticed that now!
@@DieselDucy is this your first time on the 10 floor elevators
is this your first time on the northwest elevators
@@bradleywash9219 Honestly i am not sure.
New elevators look nice! So what happened at the black level? Is that typically locked or something?
Yes. the elevator basically got lost in the shaft and found itself down there.

Ahh old Schindlers are back for the video I want to ride these things one day even if they are modded
Modded now.
Nice elevator!
That's weird that you got stuck Andrew!
Maybe a controller glitch?
Also who did the mod on these?
I can't remember
Thanks! A small local company.
7:28 - *Ohh, Jason's eliminated!!*
LOL
How did you get stuck in the elevator
It stopped and started moving again.
@@DieselDucy oh, ok
3:40 what is that leveling?
its very bad lol
4:32 elevator: YOUR STUCK AAAAAAA
pretty sure its a minor power failure, modern elevators usually lower/lift themselves to the nearest floor then shutdown
Yep.
💀💀
@edgaronRRvr it’s a joke brother
@@nga7070 I know
Cool!
Thanks!
black was open before the stadium bridge was demolished
It was. Back in the day it was public.
That elevator needs to be modernized
It has been since this video was shot
Once again, you hit a score for views
I guess so!
I thought this was an issue with the modernized elevators.
Nope, the old ones.

That was a bad running Schindler Traction Elevator While Getting Stuck????????????????????????
It was!
It was!
Are you good now?
of course.
Wow these are absolutely horrendous, they need to be modernized like today, there’s no saving this elevator. I would have never had the courage to keep riding it. I would have been off like Jason after the first ride.
they just got a mod
All the elevator systems in both parking garages have been modernized except for the 4th Street corner at the East Garage.
These were modded but fun to ride before the mod because they did all sorts of crazy things.
these are the only elevators that serve black & white black is locked
Black is locked.
@@DieselDucy the elevator just had a seizure
how did you get down to black
Elevator malfunction.
Were you stuck
briefly.
Godly Westinghouse Schindler 700As
Yep lol
Someone should fix the old Schindlers
Modded.
I'm talking about the ones that aren't modded
you never been in the northwest elevators
This my first time?
Did those have westy logic? They had plenty of character.
Schindler.
1:07 Dieselducy!
That’s right :)
