Mixed European Otis Gen2 Traction Elevators - Riu Palace Tower (Noord, Aruba)

This is a mix of Gen2 Mods and a Gen2 install. The service elevator (the first elevator I rode) is the fresher install, and it does not run good at all. It's also pretty loud in operation.

The other 4 cabs are mods of older elevators, likely Otis or a Generic Brand. It may of had Adams fixtures, again Adams in Aruba??? That is likely indicated by the leftover Adams Designer Phone Button, which is on each of the 4. They run a bit better, but man are they loud!
