INTERESTING Asian KONE M Series High Rise Traction Elevators at Place Ville Marie, Montreal, QC

These are the VERY INTERESTING and VERY NICE and FAST ROCKETS Made by KONE at the Place Ville Marie Office Tower in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. These are ASIAN KONE Elevators with Rectangle M SERIES Fixtures, VERY RARE in America, and let me tell ya, the quality on these is MUCH BETTER Than the crap KONE makes in America today!!!!! These are VERY FAST and SMOOTH, Have VERY INTERESTING and RARE Asian fixtures and chimes, but more than anything, NOTICE THE INTERESTING FLOOR INDICATOR!!!!! It shows your PROGRESS as YOUR GOING UP AND DOWN!!!!!!!! TELL ME IF THAT'S NOT COOL!!!!! THESE GOT 1600 FPM AND OMG THESE ARE ROCKETS!!!!!!! Yes, these did replace some Otis Autotronics from 1962 with the Touch Sensitive Buttons, and while I wish these were original, these things were FREAKIN' AMAZING!!!!! And while I do sort of wish these were original, they were FANTASTIC being these were my FIRST Asian KONEs and my first KONE M Series Elevators!!!!!! And they are still VERY FUN TO RIDE, and have a TON OF CHARACTER!!!!!! These serve the High Rise OFFICE Floors, the Observatory Elevators will be coming soon. With that being said, let's give these AMAZING PHEONOMENAL, RARE AND INTERESTING ELEVATORS A SPIN!!!!! SHALL WE????
Installed: 1962 (Otis Autotronics with Square Touch Sensitive Buttons)

These elevators are pretty AWESOME!!

[@FloridianElevators]

NW Indiana Elevators Oh yeah definitely!!!!

[@NeilPrasad_1905]

This KONE mod of an Otis Autotronic is actually worth.

[@elevatorsfromfrance_official]

I can't believe we had the same at the Grande Arche in Paris. Sadly, these were modernised during the huge renovation in 2016-17. Now these are Otis Compass Plus ! Btw they were from 1989 and I think their speed was around 5-6 m/s (~ 1000 ft/m) for 34 stories.

It's really interesting to see foreign elevators like this over in the US/Canada

[@FloridianElevators]

Top Hound It sure is!!!!

[@blueauraretriever]

OH MY GOD!!! A KONE M SERIES IN THE AMERICAS!!!!! I NEEDA FILM THIS!!!!

[@FloridianElevators]

Hunterdon County EleFilms by Technicalboy3000 These are pretty AWESOME!!!

[@blueauraretriever]

No s*i* sherlock!

[@OPG2711]

But this isn't in America...

[@ShashankArv]

@@FloridianElevators We're so glad that we found KONE M-Series elevators in the US instead of Series 220 all the time.

[@FloridianElevators]

@@ShashankArv These are in Canada actually, but elevators in Canada and the US are usually pretty similar so this is still an amazing find. Sadly as of my most recent visit to Montreal, these are getting modded by Otis so the M Series will be no more :(

[@BCsVators]

God, I LOVE THAT CHIME! I founded a lot of those chimes in my hometown.

[@Twentythree33]

I found a Montgomery Kone with these fixtures!

[@FloridianElevators]

elevating alberta by dogdude04 Awesome!!

[@OPG2711]

Are you sure it wasn't Series 220?

[@VancityElevators]

These are very rare. I have found one in China similar to this but it has different fixtures.

[@inactivechannel7029]

Montreal has some pretty interesting elevators, I can tell you that.

[@CenTexElevators489]

Nice elevators, and I wonder if this provided the baseline design for the Series-220 fixtures in the US.

[@OPG2711]

Probably.

[@somehumanbeing4018]

Classic KONE chime!!!!!!

[@ShashankArv]

Yea, these KONE chimes are Amazing!

[@blueauraretriever]

I hope Kone could bring back the M Series instead of those boring EcoDiscs

[@sgbuses]

1:33 I've seen these in New Zealand as well. And that leveling 2:31.

[@Nicholas992]

Very Rare to find this fixture in Thailand

[@TechNerdNolan]

Nicky Wedemeyer This isn’t in Thailand

[@somehumanbeing4018]

"RC" is the ground floor.

[@Elevatorman2005]

Sadly being modernized.
