2003 Schindler MT 500A Traction Elevators at The Chandler Building (Charlotte, NC)

FINALLY! After so long, I finally found a 500A with the TRUE 500A Chimes! Every other 500A I've seen has 400A Chimes, but not these.

This building and the other surrounding two buildings were built around 2002-2004. These 3 buildings have 500A's with MT with the true 500A Chimes, and they seem to be the only ones with the true chimes in the Ballantyne Area. All other 500A's in this area (from what I've seen) have 400A Chimes.

This set runs really good compared to the other 500A's around here! The clear 500A Chimes make these better!
