  • (December 2022 and 2020 for machine room) This is an amazing building. The whole place is just historic. Enjoy as we walk the steps, look at the elevator machine room, and of course ride the elevator.

    "Burn calories and not electricity." I love it. Classic line. I wish I would have come up with that line. But that what makes you so unique.
    This building actually reminds me of an apartment building I used to deliver food to back when I was living in Los Angeles. It was this old high-rise in downtown that was filled marble and had these giant pillars. It was so beautiful. In a way it felt as though I was stepping back in time several decades earlier every time I stepped foot inside that building. Although the elevator ride was a bit shaky, and I never knew if I would get out of there alive, the place had so much personality. They just don't make structures like that anymore.
    Thank you for continuing to upload top quality elevator videos. DieselDucy your videos are absolutely fascinating. That is because YOU are a fascinating man. Keep on riding those elevators. Alrrrrrrrriiiiiiiight!

    Gear-less traction machine, not unheard of in low and mid rise buildings with a 2:1 roping. However this machine appears small in size, maybe a "baby/mini Otis gear-less traction?" I recall from another video where a "baby traction" was installed the data plate showed 150V DC, pulling close to 100A. This is an interesting vintage elevator with the pie plate floor selector, MG set and controller. The MG is noisy, might be wear on the communicator bars or brushes and/or block bearings.

    This elevator and the place itself is absolutely amazing and stunning I absolutely luv luv this tour especially the elevator and you checked out the machine room. I have to ask if you were allowed to check the machine room becuase usually elevator machine rooms are for authorized persons only and also it can kill you. I want you to be extremely careful and cautious just for your information

    I will say certain areas will not allow you to record elevators. You should ask for permission to record elevators before you do so in certain areas.😅
