1987? US Hydraulic Elevator at 7400 North Kings Hwy (Myrtle Beach, SC)

United States Elevators used to be alive and well here, until the modding vultures came. Now only a few remain and this is one of the few surviving US Elevators. This is a fresh find US that I'm shocked no one has filmed. This is a basic but charming US with some very noisy Circle Buttons. I almost got busted here too, so do be cautious if anyone wants to film it, lot's of activity upstairs. Not sure when this was installed. One sight suggested 1987 when this building was "built", but honestly, this elevator looks more like a Late 1970's-Early 1980's install to me.

FUN FACT: I have not ridden a fresh find US Circle Button since 2020, tells you how rare these have been getting.
