Fast and Creepy Haughton Traction Elevator @ Zeffrano Hall - ISU, Ames, IA

Happy New Years!
Here we have Zeffrano Hall at ISU, where I found my first ever Haughton! I have ridden a few more since but that will remain the first I ever found. There is a freight next to this which I also got a video of. I will post that soon.
This thing is fast, runs poorly and has a ton of character. All of which make it super fun to ride, though the modernization is really cheaply done and sucks. This building only has this and the freight and it gets busy during the day. The freight is almost never used so if you have class here and wanna risk it, Id use that personally. The innovation mod is cheaply done but I am glad it still has its original cab, motor and likely controller. ...

This is agronomy hall. There is also a generic here that I didnt bother with. This is a vintage 80s Montgomerythats still original! Its has rare EPCO Flushline buttons and an old cab to go with it. The motor and controller are still original too! This is an epic vintage elevator though it is very slow, going 40 fpm. I am guessing since the building appears to be renovated somewhat recently that...

Filmed back in 2023. I do not know what brand this is or who it was modernized by. It was installed in the 1970s. It originally had old CJ Anderson but was slapped with a new PTL panel. The motor has also been replaced, but it is obviously still relay logic of some sort, even if a modern quivalent controller. The original indicator is also pretty cool even though it doesnt entirely work. This e...

Here we have the connection between Lebaron and McKay Hall. It features a second rare and epic Chenoweth Kern Elevator, which is still original! It’s slower than the other one, going only 50FPM, but serves one less floor. This one is in worse shape than the other one and also has a fan. It’s missing some ceiling tiles which shows what the ceiling used to look like. The other one runs better too...

Located in science hall 1 at ISU. The building iself dates back to 1910. The inside is historic and looks really awesome. Its not a super grand historic building, but it still does look pretty cool! It has a lot of weird hallways and small rooms you wouldnt get now. I have no idea if the building had an elevator when it was first built, I am guessing it was installed between then and the 1950s....

This is Hoch Hall. It has 2 elevators and this is the passenger. I didnt get a video of the service. My reason for only having a few videos at each place was because I never knew if Id upload them or not, but here we are! Not exactly in a position where I can go explore a lot now, but anytime I do I will be recording when possible. Anyways its a super fast generic. I falsely stated it was modde...

Recorded back in 2023. This has never been filmed to my knowledge. It is located in MWL commons at ISU. Maple, Willow and Larch are all residence halls. They all have modded montys. I will possibly return to film those, but theyre busy and not that interesting tbh. The commons are public and have the Seasons Dining Center. This elevator takes you between Seasons (level 1) and the dorm walkways ...

Here we have a vintage monty that was ruined through modernization. Hard to tell even when it was modded, but somewhat recently. Its all Innovation Bruiser and boring modern LED indicators. Based on the cab and some other minor quirks about it, I believe this was a Montgomery from the 1960s or 1970s. The motor is really nice, even though its very clearly a modern replacement. The cab remains th...

Here is some entrance elevator at the ISU memorial union. It goes between a few different areas of the building. The building itself is over 100 years old, however it has been heavily renovated and expanded multiple times. This was likely added during a 1990s expansion and modded around 10 years ago. Why it was modernized so early in its life remains a mystery. If I had to guess, the MT buttons...

Strange MEI MRL Traction Elevator @ A. B. Anderson Hall - UMD - Duluth, MN

Просмотров 86321 день назад

This is located at AB Anderson Hall. Filmed back in 2023. This building was constructed back in 1971, and never had an elevator until around 10-15 years ago when they put this in. It was installed by MEI but is just generic parts. It’s an MRL and actually goes to the roof which is what floor 5 is. There is a small “motor room” above the shaft, which serves as more of an area to support a more s...

Filmed back in 2022. Not much else to say here other than a nice 2010 MEI with an epic motor. This doubles up as a freight,but not for much as everything is on the first floor. There are a few classrooms and offices upstairs and to get there, this elevator serves that purpose well. Boring innovation buttons, but MEI doesn’t make their own. It runs pretty well too and has been well maintained. I...

Here sits the end of elevator 3 at Lebaron Hall, ISU. This large building was orignally constructed in 1958, this was likely added in the 1970s or 1980s. The building also saw a large expansion in 1992. The original part from 1958 was torn down in October of 2024, meaning this elevator no longer exists. The other 4 the building has still remain for now. There was another similar vintage Chenowe...

Filmed back in 2023. I jave no idea what brand this was, but obviously now its a generic. It was modded by Eletec (I am guessing) with Innovation Bruiser around 10-15 years ago. The motor and equipment all seem replaced too. Its way too smooth and does not have the feel of a relay controller. The doors on the other hand are almost certainly original, and aggressive at that. The door timer is al...

Found on my phone from back in 2021. This is a really interesting and fast R&O traction elevator in Griggs Hall EF at UMD. I used to go to college here and have a few videos. I havent been in several years but may revisit again when I can. First off, why do they only have a single elevator for 7 floors? The basement is just janitorial and maintenence, but I can tell you from visiting people in ...
