I really love love how this works and operates. The ceiling light and the cab especially the fixtures and the doors itself look gorgeous. The beauty of this design is tremendously beautiful especially for the beautiful elevator

[@DieselDucy]

It was nice

[@BrandondHasty]

With dieselelevators graves elevator scissor gate door no floor indicator with a view of the machine room

[@DieselDucy]

Yep

[@DieselElevators]

This was such a fun one! I just noticed the hinges on the side of the doors outside, never noticed it when we were there. I wonder if it could open to full width if desired for freight loading?

[@DieselDucy]

It probably could. Fun having you for the ride Cody 😃

[@AhmearClayIombo-dj6di]

Awesome Elevator

[@DieselDucy]

Thanks

[@TheTheo58]

It's a very nice well maintained elevator, runs quite well, I have seen a few videos with floor selectors like this one. The opposite side of the controller must be the floor relays with the solenoid coils above the selector.

[@DieselDucy]

It was awesome.

[@davidng2336]

That looks really good for how old it is.

[@DieselDucy]

1920s I believe.

[@user-kp6xf4gf7t]

Also, single speed!?

Yep old elevators are my absolute favorite. Like them better than the new ones

[@wereswdfgrdesd]

@@DieselDucy a similar elevator broke down on the jimster

[@ElevaTOURSbyRainMaves]

It seems like everything is slowly going out of business my favorite clothing store is closing and my favorite seafood restaurant that I would ways go to is permanently closed it was called MS Apples Crab Shack 😔

[@DieselDucy]

[@NC_YT_123]

Do you usually have to get permission to ride these types of elevators? If so how often do the people who own the building say yes?

[@DieselDucy]

Sometimes I get permission. Some times I sneak in. In this case I knew a resident of the building.

I'm liking your cars

[@DieselDucy]

Thanks

[@Cmbgo98]

It looks like this uses a very very similar car panel to the 1917 A.B See that I filmed.

[@DieselDucy]

I want to see that so bad.

[@EvanElevatorExplorer]

This elevator looks like a titanic lift

[@DieselDucy]

It does

[@User-UCKJxZ-UVayPlp0q22AswE6g]

Hope this never gets modernized.

[@DieselDucy]
