Kone Polaris/Destination Modded Traction Elevators - Embassy Suites Downtown (Knoxville, TN)

This is my first Kone DD and I was excited to finally experience one! This modded some Otis's from the Circa 1970's when it used to be an office building. During the conversion to Embassy Suite, they were modded by Kone. I'm not sure if this is truly a Polaris, as this was modded around the time Polaris turned into the pathetically named "Destination" DD system that Kone uses now. Whether this is Polaris or Destination doesn't really matter, as these are some cool mods that run well and have nice cabs. My only complaint is that they should've used a Full Panel COP and not a "Slap On" Style COP as it sticks out like a sore thumb. The LCD Screen is also kind of dumb looking. Other than that, this is a neat mod, though I would've loved to see what these were before.
