Special thanks to Sirens and Elevators for originally finding this!

This is a Westinghouse that has shockingly not gotten modded, very surprising since NC hates Westys for some reason. Type A fixtures aren't my favorite Westy Buttons (then again Type E and AE ain't much better), but it's rare to see it in this area! This also has the "Bike" Bell, which is short but sweet. This thing runs very interestingly. It stays parked and opened on the current floor and only closes and moves when called or a floor is inputted. It runs very oddly and has some rough stops, which is my only complaint. But overall, this is a really neat elevator that I hope stays original for the time coming.
