Restored panel looks amazing! Great job Jason 😁 Would be great to sometimes be able to salvage those electromechanical floor counters as well, I love them 😊
Wow, the manufacturers really gave up on the floor counters, didn't they? They all seem to like that boring, unreliable glitch-fest ACME floor counters.
Oh yeah! Forgot about this, ha ha! Decent mod. The old Dominion buttons will live on in the ElevaTOURS Museum! I remember watching your old tour of this building.
It would've been even cooler if they'd left the elevators alone... but, as we know, that is seldom done. But Otis did a great job here and the building looks very nice too.
Just letting you know, I do watch your videos. It’s fascinating and interesting to check out the elevators. I’d do the very same thing you do, these are very cool. I have done my own exploring and riding on elevators. Checked out a few machine rooms too, had a close call once exploring a machine room, we thought we were the only ones in the building until the motor started up, we beat it down the ladder and out of the room, they never did come up, they selected a floor under us, lol. I’ve done lots of exploring. Keep up the cool videos of the neat elevators. Oh, got to run a very old haughton manual elevator. There’s still a few in my town. Love your elevator videos!
Hey Andrew! I have a recommendation,You should visit kings dominion in Doswell,Virginia, Kings Dominion has a Unique Eiffel Tower replica you can go up in and it would be very cool to see!
Why are so many elevators getting modernized these days?! No terrorist threats, Ryan! It's not gonna change anything, unless you wanna end up in the back of a police car.
15:50 I was thinking that directory had lights behind it and it changed along with the indicator that would be a cool thing to add but Im just giving an opinion because I never seen elevators that old before
I remember I visited a brand new small apartment building that was built near where I live and they gave me permission to look around and the elevator wasnt an otis it was actually a really nice brand new schindler but it was still on its installation process so it had the protective coating on the walls
@@DieselDucy Me too but 707 is the amount of Horsepower on a Dodge Mopar 6.2 Supercharged HEMI V8 that is called a Hellcat Engine and they go SOOO FAST!! Mopar gang!!
Hi Andrew! I've been a long time fan of you, and thanks to you because of your elevator videos, I'm still a big fan of elevator (and of course yourself) since 2009! Keep up with your great work, Andrew! Sending you some love from Indonesia! ❤️🦋✨

he did a great job.
Nice score on getting the old parts, was very nice of Otis to give you those. Usually they won’t let you have anything.
Very true!
Otis button lights can be rainbow colored too
that would be cool!
Amazing
Thanks

Pretty much. They all look the same now.
Maybe it's an industry standard.
@@any123-og ...or laziness on the other parties. If it is, it a standard, it's a sad one.
bro i had to switch from wireless internet to ethernet to view comments because the restricted mode is shit
Crazy
staggered buttons are more interesting.
I love ❤ the staggered buttons
roblox elevator?
OTIS
4:53 look what happening that’s right they’re being modernized
Shoutout to OTIS Elevator!!!
Awesome!
Nice I’m glad you got the parts for this elevators, OTIS did a great job with the mod and giving you the buttons to it
I'm so happy too.
Those Dominion Elevators looked real cool! ElevaTOUR times are always the best!
I know right. You never know what you will see when you hear "it's elevaTOUR time" 😀
@@DieselDucy That’s right! 😆😁
the old buttons strike me as Armor. but i could be wrong. i feel like I've seen them on Burlingtons too.
Oh yeah! Forgot about this, ha ha! Decent mod. The old Dominion buttons will live on in the ElevaTOURS Museum! I remember watching your old tour of this building.
Yep. It has changed alot. It was pretty much abandoned back then.
But Otis mods are so cool

I’m just happy to see the building repurposed.
@@DieselDucy absolutely!
I watched you edit this. :-)
Yep. I remember 😊
Pretty cool. Later Series 1 chime too, my favorite.
It is a decent mod.

Thanks so much for the comment! I am so happy you enjoy my videos! I hope you will keep watching.
🤮🤮🤮 What a way to absolutely destroy an elevator
It actually looks like a nice mod the buttons are nice and flush with the wall and luckly some of the old buttons wont be sent to the scrap yard
They did a good job.
Hey Andrew! I have a recommendation,You should visit kings dominion in Doswell,Virginia, Kings Dominion has a Unique Eiffel Tower replica you can go up in and it would be very cool to see!
Which vintage digicam was this filmed with?
I believe my sony Handycam HDR-PJ760V
This is the same mod the parking garage elevators at my local airport was modded
Awesome.
So same gearbox for sure and looks like the same break, they just got new motors, a cage over the machines, rope grippers and VFDs. Nice!!!
I’ve been waiting for this
Hope it was worth the wait
@@DieselDucy sure was
I’ve been waiting to see this for ages! Glad it’s finally public
Glad you enjoyed it
@@DieselDucy What would I not enjoy on this channel!
W is slow and I don’t want it on my computer so I’m trying not work on the computers anymore but I’m still on my way home from the

Stroke?

Because parts for them are getting hard to find as is people that know how to work on them.

awesome!
Basic standard mod would have wished the controller & motor were kept original to retain the ride character
Just a boring otis mod.
Otis elevator series m2
yep!
11:57
Ok
Did you noticed that the old elevator had a ThyssenKrupp Phone in ir
Yep 👍
old vs new
I like old better.
elevatours
OTIS.
Sad that these elevators got modded but at least this building is almost fully occupied.
Yeah. The building was in pretty bad shape but they have refurbished it.
@@DieselDucy Regretfully, the elevators at the Hotel Roanoke are about to meet the same fate.
Did you get the call buttons?
Yes I did
@@DieselDucy Cool!
And the car panels, lanterns and indicators?
Holy Cow!
These are awesome
@@DieselDucy They sure are. Couldn't agree more.
They'll never be dominion elevators again
nope.
I like that moderation elevator
It is a good mod
When was the original installed
1965
Oooo!! 707 HP HELLCAT BUILDING!!
I love airplanes
@@DieselDucy Me too but 707 is the amount of Horsepower on a Dodge Mopar 6.2 Supercharged HEMI V8 that is called a Hellcat Engine and they go SOOO FAST!! Mopar gang!!
That’s so cool
Thanks.
EPIC
Thanks.
This is the best video of all
Thanks!
I used to film elevators but now my Channel is about cooking
But I still like watching
Great Video man! Been watching since 2015!
Thanks so much.
@@DieselDucy I've been watching since 2011
