Neat 1982 General/Asheville Oiltronic Hydraulic Elevator at 30 Choctaw Street (Asheville, NC)

I've known about this elevator since 2021, but yet was timid to film it due to the layout. Turns out it wasn't as bad as I thought and was able to reach it.

This is a General Oiltronic installed under Asheville Elevator Co. It has a mix of GAL JetPlus and possibly EPCO Haloline? (or Generals own buttons) buttons, a working indicator, and a first for me, a working Mechanical Bell which rings when the elevator is called and when it reaches its destination! This is one of the very few General Oiltronics on YT that has a working bell! This one is on the rumbly side, but runs fine overall.
