Drunk Montgomery Kone MX/HH Hydraulic Elevator - Dillards WestGate Mall (Spartanburg, SC)
I ain't joking when I say this was a drunk elevator. Not only is the indicator dead, but the lanterns are glitched out. Very lovely, lol. Descending does take a bit but besides that, it runs fine.
There is another MontyKone Hydraulic Elevator in the Food Court, but it was blocked off. That means that is all the elevators I could get here at this mall. To be honest, I really don't care for any of the elevators here at this mall.

So uhhh... finding a Wide Panel 400A during my day trip was not on my bingo card. Regardless, I am so glad these aren't those dumbass 330TinCAns. These are 100x more exciting and rare!

RARE Thyssenkrupp AURORA SPF Traction Elevators - Hugh R. Black Pavilion (Spartanburg, SC)
A TK Aurora Hydraulic is boring and predictable, a TK Aurora Traction is something else! While a heavily used fixture back in the Mid-Late 2000's, it is super rare to find Aurora fixtures used on Traction Installs. I was expecting these to be lame Hydraulics, but I'm glad they aren't! I pogged as soon as these things lift off! These run really well. Ignoring the annoying Buzz on the first one and the lifeless steel cabs, these are cool! The MAD Lanterns are strange, though.
FYI: These are not ISIS as they have MR's on the top, plus they don't have loud motors.

AMAZING Vintage Otis Traction Elevator w Swing Door - MHU Nash Hall (Mars Hill, NC)
This elevator was the one I wanted to check out when I went to look around this campus. I thought this was gonna be a bit harder to get to, but I did a loophole with the stairs and it was easier than I thought. I was expecting a standard Otis Black Button install, but man, I was not expecting a SWING DOOR one!
This elevator is nothing short of amazing! It runs fantastically, all the fixtures are original, you can slightly see through the shaft, and even the In Use Lights work! It is a shame that it has a standard sliding door on the inside instead of a gate, but that is a stupid nitpick, because this elevator is truly epic and easily the best elevator on the campus!

Charming Vintage Asheville Hydraulic Elevator - MHU Cornwell Hall (Mars Hill, NC)
This is a neat and charming little elevator with EPCO Circleline. The COP reminds me of that one Southeastern Westbrook that used to be at Fidelity Prof Building before it got Shitlered HellExcessed in 2021. A neat little elevator, but leveling up is a little rough. This was probably the most risky elevator to film here.

Another TK Vertical Express. I believe, like the other one, these used to have older MAD BS Classic with the Dogshit Sticky Contacts.
