You guys remember on my video of the 300A's on this property that I said there were still no escaping Dover Impulses on this property? Well, here's 4 of them.

I only filmed 3 of the 4. The first Elevator and the one next to it I didn't film were in Building A and were installed around 1988. It's a basic but neat Impulse that runs well and has the same beautiful updated cab designs as the other elevators on this property.

The other 2 in this video are in Building A and are actually older ones from 1986, with the Segmented Lanterns and Weird Quirks. The 1st one has a Low Pitch Dover Buzz, and the other one has a TK Label and lots of red. They also run well and feature the same nice and modern cab designs as the prior cabs.

All of these seem to be DMC controlled, but despite the whole "dMc-1 oBsOlETe" campaign ThyssenKrupp is doing, I don't see these (and likely the other 1000 Impulses around West Greensboro) going anywhere anytime soon.
