Rough but Custom 1999 ThyssenDover Traction Elevators at SouthTrust Plaza (Greensboro, NC)

I was expecting Impulses like usual, but I was surprised with what I got. I was hoping for Dover VR on the inside, but nope. Despite having Traditional on the inside, they have these really cool custom panels with the Lanterns integrated in, which is a rarity. The cabs look nice from the outside to the inside!

However, these are not holding up the greatest. While the left cab runs fine, the right cab runs very rough and shakes a good bit. Definitely needs some fix up, as well as a replacement Lens for the one arrow in the left cab. lol
