Here is a really classy and gorgeous looking Thyssenkrupp with MAD fixtures. It has a very large cab and I love the designs. I wish it ran better though. This could be a possible Vertical Express, which is strange if true. Elevator Brand: ThyssenKrupp / Vertical Express???

Here is an almost fully original "A Series", well minus the Adams Slapped On COP. Besides the replacement COP, everything else is original. It is a bit low on oil.

No clue what these were originally, probably Montgomery, but they seem to have recently been modded by Kone a few years ago. This mod is not very impressive and has a terrible phone button placement on the COP, but these do have the Doors Opening/Closing voice clips. Prior Elevator Brand: Montgomery?

These were installed around the time TK was slowly getting rid of older components and putting in new ones. These were installed in 2017 and this building has 4 Synergies, of which I only filmed three. There was a solo Synergy and the main set, which all serve the main floors of this building. The one I didn't film (the busiest of all four) serves several more floors and has the Older Dover Chime in comparison to the lower pitch chimes these have.

So the University of Tennessee has an office tower for some reason. These were originally some Otis elevators that were given a full mod by Dover with Innovation Security Call Panels and Dover Traditional Fixtures on the inside. This tower has 15 floors total, with 12 of those floors being how high the tower is.

Let's begin the elevator finds at UT with this Generic Elevator with Adams. It also features an Innovation Lantern with a Mechanical Bell. There is no branding anywhere on the elevator, meaning this is a generic install or a Montgomery, me personally leaning towards the lather since the controller seems very MIPROM like. Not too sure about that, but it is possible since Montgomery has several other installs around Campus. This cab has seen better days.

This is the service car of the 2nd set of elevators. Only notable difference is the back door.

These are some Custom Montgomery Elevators that look old and new at the same time! They have Custom Lanterns with the 1st Floor having overhead lights as Lanterns and the other floors having Circle Lanterns. The buttons are EPCO Circleline, and oddly enough the first floors only have the buttons and no panels, meaning it is directly in the wall! These also sport Montgomery VFD indicators with Vector Floor Pass Chimes, with one of the ones on the 2nd set having a Low Pitch Chime. Both sets are actually hydraulic elevators, not traction. The reason for the confusion is that the fan overpowers the motor on the first set, and they do not feel like hydraulics. Both elevator sets run at 200 FPM, which is nuts for a Hydro! They could run a bit better though. NOTE: These are not MX nor HH models as none of those models can run at 200 FPM. These particular ones are just base model hydraulics with no official name.

Right next door to the US Soft Touch is this weird Montgomery Kone install. It features a super weird cab design with the main focus being warm and cool colors and a ton of hexagons. Hence my nickname for this elevator being "The Hexagon Elevator." Minus the unusual but pretty cool cab redesign, it also has a replacement CE floor indicator, replaced lantern lights, and a different chime, likely being a Monitor chime. What an unusual discovery, not even mentioning the fact they decided to go with two different elevator company between this building and the next door one.
