I wasn't expecting these Traditionally Boring to be original, but they are. Unfortunately, this set is not in the greatest shape. Some buttons were replaced with PTL Performer, and these do not run well at all. Just goes to show that Oildraulics from the Late 1970's-Early 1980's was the worst time to get one. At least it has those custom lanterns, very similar to Woodfield Corp Center II.

I don't go out of my way to film 330As, but I made exceptions to these. These are super nice and shiny brass 330As that seemed to have held up well!

I knew there would be an Endura here, but not a damn Endurable Fire Hazard MRL. It's also a plain one with MAD and not Signa4/Atoll like I was expecting. This runs like hot garbage. They should've gotten a MR Endura.

Quite literally the only elevator I filmed in Lancaster. Every other elevator was restricted or common/predictable. Granted, this fits in the lather category, but I filmed it because why not. It has a huge cab, which is predictable for a medical office building. Elevator Brand: Otis Elevator Model (if identifiable): NA Elevator Type: Hydraulic Floors Served: 2 Installed: 1999???

This was probably the most dangerous elevator I had stepped into. It's deranged and has a possessed mind of it's own. When I rode this, it only went between 1 and the Ground Floor non-stop, allowing very little time to get in and out. It closes way too fast and if not careful, it can get you seriously injured as the bumpers seemed to be hardened. Yeah, this easily earns the worst elevator of the year!

Here is a giant BIG BOI that I didn't expect to be public. It wasn't the case back in 2021, but now it is! This thing is HUGE, sporting a 9000 lb capacity. Other than that, it is really slow and has basic Innovation stuff. I think this is an MEI, but it was installed by Otis according to the NC records.

While a generic install with Adams Survivors, it runs pretty well and is in good shape for an over 30 year old elevator.

Well I decided to come here randomly and I was shocked (and appalled) that the main passenger elevator was pointlessly modded by this pathetic and glitchy mess of an Otis Mod. This mod seems fairly recent, which sucks because I missed out on some parts. I'll let the video speak on why this mod is fucking trash and a waste of money. Good news is that I got to see the original Manual Haughton Elevator, which seems to still be kicking. Bad news is that I can't ride it, mainly because of the outer door being held open and will likely trap me if I did ride it. Still, a quick look is better than nothing. This is one of the few Haughtons in the Carolinas!

These Dover Elevators have now been completely modded with a MAD Mod by Asheville Elevators. I'm disappointed in them for pointlessly modding these as besides some rough stops (which was likely an easy fix), there is absolutely no need to mod these. They do maintain a lot of classic elevators (like good ol' 70 Woodfin), so seeing them mod something not that old is a bit of a letdown. Since I was last here, all cars now have updated and tasteful cab designs, which do look nice and the only good thing about this mod. The only other interesting thing is that these also have the Internal MAD Chimes, but they are glitchy as the down chime only sounds even when going up, especially on the middle left car. The Internal chimes are only sounded by calling the elevator. Every other car has the stupid MAD voice, except for the far left car, which is the one I got for the video. I still stand by my statement that I am really not impressed with this mod. They still sound questionable on the outside (although don't run bad), and are a tad glitchy. For reference, I called the garage elevator and got the garage car and the main passenger elevator next to it at the same time.

Here is a neat TK Vertical Express with Dover VR Buttons that is scenic! It's odd they have a Hydro installed out here for no reason. This looks to be a 2007 Install judging by the TK VR Lanterns. It even has that weird Dot Matrix indicator some later TK VE's have. Weird to see a phone cabinet though.

Eyyy, an Original A! This elevator is very bell happy!

This building supposedly had 4 elevators. Well, I only found and filmed three. Each elevator was different from the last, but they are all Montgomery Kones with Conventional (Innovation) fixtures. The first one was brass and only served 3 floors. The second was also brass, had 2 doors, and served the ground floor. The third was plain steel, but served the most floors, has the skinnest cab layout, 2 doors, and a Vector floor pass chime. Let's say the first one ran the best of all three of them.
