RIP: Dover SPF & MAD Modded Dover Traction Elevators - Omni Grove Park Inn (Asheville, NC)
After seeing TJElevatorFan's video on this set, I had to get down there to see these one last time. These Dover Impulse SPF's are getting pointlessly modded with a MAD Mod by Asheville Elevators. I'm disappointed in them for pointlessly modding these as besides some rough stops (which was likely an easy fix), there is absolutely no need to mod these. They do maintain a lot of classic elevators (like good ol' 70 Woodfin), so seeing them mod something not that old is a bit of a letdown.
I rode an OG Car and then a Modded Car. So what about the modded car(s)? I'm not impressed. MAD is not a fixture Asheville Elevators uses (they tend to use PTL now), and they chose the worst fixture possible for these. The New COP's do not blend in at all, they already sound a bit questionable on the outside, and it even has the "Gaing Ap" MAD Voice Pack too. The only interesting thing is that these also have the Internal MAD Chimes, but both that and the voice are very silent. The Internal chimes are only sounded by calling the elevator. The newer cabs do seem to run a bit better (for now), but overall I'm not too pleased with this mod.
