We missed the Dover parts. They already threw them away. Not too upset though, I have traditional buttons already and I don’t want another swing panel.
STL Elevators That bridge gives it away. I was there in 2005 before Macy’s took over. That was an amazing store. The restaurant on 2 was fantastic in food, service and architecture. I fell in love with St. Louis because of Famous Barr. So sad its gone.
These old Dover tractions were a huge pain for techs to work on. Plus people parking here will enjoy the new elevators. Still sad to see them get a mod.
While it sucks that these old DOVER elevators are getting a modernization, they will run amazingly by either ThyssenKrupp or Schindler! (Please don't offend me just because I like elevator modernizations in general...)
May they rest in Elevator heaven
Yep. Tried getting buttons, they already trashed them. Not too upset about it though, I really don’t want another Dover traditional COP :P
Not enough room in your museum I guess?
I don’t really want them.
Oh ok
RIP old Dovers!
Yep :(
You’re videos are awesome Jason
Glad you enjoy them!!!
Dover made some of the best indicators. The way they are angled down so you can see the numbers better is quite ergonomic.
Let's not talk about the Impulse indicator LED's now alright, let's just move on.
BigKitty1011 Why?
“Leds”
STL Elevators ?
@@TechNerdNolan Impulse indicator LEDs were notoriously terrible for burning out very early on in their life cycle.
They are "very pleased" to replace them. How sad.
RIP (Rust in Pieces) old Dovers.
For us, a mod is a sad day, but for most people, this is a huge upgrade.
Unless the vintage elevator was more efficient before the mod. Sometimes generics can be cheap and can make an elevator worse, but not in this case.
That's sad that these will be modded. But, once the mod is complete, aren't you going to get the old Dover parts for your collection?

I wonder what these are being replaced with. RIP old Dover’s!
Generic. Innovation buttons.
I wonder why they even slapped on MAD on the left car in the 1st place? Was the COP on that 1 only in bad shape or something?
I never saw the condition of the panel before it was replaced. I did come here a while back and both panels were original, but the one wasn't too bad.
What are they going to do with the old buttons?
Trashed
@@stlelevators You should have tried to get them!
I already did and missed it by about a week. I also didn’t really want any of it so I’m not too mad.
Is the mall still there?
Nope
They converted it into (another) parking garage.
Well they definitely served their purpose.
Yep. Gonna miss having these in downtown.
Was this mall where the original Famous Barr and Co. was?
Yes

Well RIP
Hopefully the company that mods these does a nice job
The one car that’s done is really nice.
What is happening with the elevators
They are getting modernized
Being heavily modernized. New buttons, controller, motor, etc
Who’s modding them?
A small company in STL.
Who is doing the mod
Small company in the stl area.
@@stlelevators Is it Midwest or something? Or do you actually not know?
A slap on mod?
No a full mod. The MAD buttons were added on some time ago.
STL Elevators Any idea what they have now?
Innovation
@@stlelevatorshow are they doing to this day? Running ok?
replacing those elevators is a mistake. old indicator is the best part. they should keep the slightly modded elevator.
These old Dover tractions were a huge pain for techs to work on. Plus people parking here will enjoy the new elevators. Still sad to see them get a mod.
The company picked out the perfect name for the buttons because they *do* make elevator filmers mad.
The MAD panel was a previous slap on mod. The new elevators have innovation.

Same
This is being done by a small company. The new car runs really well. These Dover tractions were junk.
What was wrong with them?
They were slow, but from a tech’s view, the equipment is a total pain to work on.
Oh
That walkway is a bit of an ADA fail
It was built back in the 80s
They better not touch that Montgomery Freight Elevator
This is a different garage.
I hate that more Dovers are being modded!
These didn’t run too well to begin with.
Jason, too bad they are getting modded...
Oh well, it is what it is. They run a lot better after the mod though.
STL Elevators what happens if you get stuck in the modded elevator?
Press the phone.
STL Elevators what if the phone doesn’t work? Scream 4 help?
They don't sound to good.
The new elevators run a lot better. It’s sad we lost some cool Dovers though.
