Built in 1989, this building has an interesting looking elevator. What looks like a Westinghouse at first is actually a VERY EARLY Schindler put in around 1989 or 1990. You can tell as not only is the door operator something very obscure and not GAL, but the placement of the emergency light in the center of the COP gives it away that this is actually a Schindler. Now if the emergency light was in the top corner, then it would've been a Westy, but this one is definitely more Schindler. This is a pretty neat find, but sadly this thing runs like garbage. Hopefully, that can be fixed up. FUN FACT: This is still listed as a Westinghouse on the records, but I still stand by my assessment. A Schindlerhouse if you will. Keep in mind some records have actual TK's listed as Dover instead.

Here's another MRL Endura. This one runs much worse than the last one. The buttons are also already pointlessly replaced with even worse buttons.

Well, an Evolution or a Regular Endura would've been more ideal. This thing is only 5 years old and already sounds super sketchy. Running quality isn't good either. There were already reports of some Endura MRL's catching on fire (I think somewhere in Florida I believe), so let's see how long this lasts... I'm glad MRL Hydros aren't catching on. I mean, could you imagine Schindler making a 330A MRL?

While some nice looking cabs, this set of elevators do not run good. They should've gotten 3300's instead.

What looks like a skippable Aurora Boringalias has an interesting twist, a Dover VR Lantern! I'm guessing it's original to the elevator, which is strange if that is true.

These are some very early Signa4 installs from 2008. The call buttons were replaced, but the inside buttons are still holding on. The right cab is in a worn condition compared to the left cab.

This is pretty much the only elevator filmable in Indian Land. It has replaced Call Buttons, one being MAD BS Classic and the other being PTL VR2. Very plain elevator otherwise.

Welcome to Early Access! All videos this birthday week in relation to elevators will all be released a day early from original uploading times, EXCLUSIVELY ON MY RUMBLE AND ODYSEE CHANNELS! Here is an old replacement Eastern Elevator put in around the 1960's with Payne Fixtures. Sadly it was given a pretty meh Slap On by ASK Elevators with Adam's Designer in the 1990's. To be fair, this is actually the first I've seen Designer in the field. Minus the Slap On, this is mostly original and offers a very thrilling ride. Through the vents, you can see the windows that brighten up the shaft from time to time. This is a very fun elevator to ride, minus the rough stops. It's an adrenaline rush of an elevator! Stay tuned for the restrooms here! NOTE: They have since put a warning about photography here. This video and photos was taken BEFORE the policy went into effect.

Welcome to Early Access! All videos this birthday week in relation to elevators will all be released a day early from original uploading times, EXCLUSIVELY ON MY RUMBLE AND ODYSEE CHANNELS! Right here is something of a beauty, an original Warner Elevator! While I'm unsure if this is original or not, you cannot deny this is a really sweet elevator! While it is a bit beat up since this is also used to move furniture, it is still in pretty reasonable condition. This thing shocked me with how excellent this ran! Keep in mind, this is a single speed elevator and they tend to have very rough stops generally, but I barely felt anything when this stopped. It is quite smooth for an elevator with very frequent use and it runs like it was installed yesterday! If you are in the area, you HAVE to check this out. The Employees are very friendly about photography, so don't worry about getting in trouble here unlike some other places.

Welcome to Early Access! All videos this birthday week in relation to elevators will all be released a day early from original uploading times, EXCLUSIVELY ON MY RUMBLE AND ODYSEE CHANNELS! Well, this is one of those elevators where it is both tasteful and utter dog shit at the same time. lol For the tasteful side, this was once an old Otis Manual and there were nice enough to leave the Original Crank behind as a historic piece of the elevator, same with the overall cab design. Now for the shit side, this should be obvious, the mod. I mean, how tf did this elevator get so abused?! THE DAMN LANTERN WAS TAKEN OUT! This isn't a Series 5/6 Egg Lantern for goodness sakes. The Panel itself is pretty beat up and so is the cab itself. While a neat find, this elevator deserved a far better fate than this...

Welcome to Early Access! All videos this birthday week in relation to elevators will all be released a day early from original uploading times, EXCLUSIVELY ON MY RUMBLE AND ODYSEE CHANNELS! This was very unexpected! I was expecting some modded crap, but we have an original Montgomery from 1962 with the White Buttons!

Welcome to Early Access! All videos this birthday week in relation to elevators will all be released a day early from original uploading times, EXCLUSIVELY ON MY RUMBLE AND ODYSEE CHANNELS! This might be the coolest Oildraulic Install I've ever seen! I kinda spoiled myself with this elevator online, but I'm glad I did. We got a really cool customized Dover installed in the Mid-Late 1990's. The Call Stations (except the top floor) stretch out and also contain the lanterns on top. It has this really cool bronze finish to the panels and the entire elevator. And on the inside, we got Custom Impulse! This is a really awesome elevator that runs pretty well! I hope it doesn't get ruined at all from the "dMc oBsOlETe" garbage as this is a one of the kind!

These are some pretty neat Otis Lexan Tracts with Roto Dials. Unfortunately, the roto dials don't work on any floors. Even worse, they run very poorly with rough jolts and stops. The 2nd one in particular is really beaten up. These were probably a lot cooler back in the day. This is the last video from this college. Every other elevator here was not worth filming/out of reach. All Bathrooms here sucked, with a majority of them being replacements or newer.

Here is a weird Impulse. The setup is kinda weird. It's a 2 door elevator with a large cab. The 1st floor has a normal Impulse Indicator and Lantern, but the 2nd floor has a Custom Lantern with the Bell. The Basement doesn't even have a lantern...

This building combines with some older and newer buildings to become this campus's Acedemic Center. Sadly, that means we got newer elevators, and that means two Gen2's.

So, finding an Amtech in NC was not on my bingo card... What I thought was a US Install ended up being something different entirely. Safe to say this is the first Amtech Reliable elevator I have ever filmed! It's pretty much similar to United States (US) Elevators, in fact, the call buttons on the main floor is US, but with some slight changes. The Amtech Circle Buttons are flatter and have different fonts, but press in the same way as US Circle. The only thing that is really different are the Directional Lanterns. This is a really cool find altogether! This seems to be installed by Asheville Elevators.

Here is my first Mowrey Elevator. This is a Mowrey install from 2019. A lot more buildings here at this complex have more of these, but due to the high towing risk, this is the only one I bothered with. Mowrey Elevators in NC are very rare to come by. However, they are not known for their quality as these are pretty cheap. To the shock of no one, this elevator does not run the best. The buttons, while cheap, are interesting for a first time. They feel and press like Dewhurst US91, but are apparently SEES PBR buttons.
