    Beautiful job keeping these ornate elevators!

    The call stations make the mod tasteful indeed. To the ones who say “EWWW DISGUSTING MOD, IM NEVER COMING INSIDE THIS PLACE EVER”, y’all gotta think about the fact that 20th century elevator parts from the 1920s are not possible to acquire for replacements. Sometimes there’s certain codes that buildings have to follow through with, such as replacing out of code elevators.

      EXACTLY! Stuff wears out and has to be replaced sometimes! While I would obviously enjoy seeing the originals kept, there comes a time, especially for a busy building like this where they are forced to upgrade to keep reliable service. I feel that this was done TOTALLY tastefully and they preserved what they could from the original elevators. They did not want to upgrade but like you said, when they needed parts, they would have to wait months sometimes and it was becoming too expensive.

    I really dig all the before and after shots. I like how you highlighted the way these vintage elevators looked before you showed the moderation's. DieselDucy you are a legend in the elevator community and this videos shows why. Always look forward to seeing more content from you.

    Yes United did a very nice job with the modernization, very tasteful with the colors and selection of COP. It's very fast for an 8 floor + basement building might be a gear-less with a 2:1 roping.

    If only we had more mods this tasteful, United certainly preserved the character, and might I add, the cabs look nicer in Green!

      Totally agree! I actually like the refurbished cabs better than the originals.

    At least they kept some parts original even though it sucks for them to be modded. Better than getting rid of all the original things which we don’t want to see but I’m glad that these people restore these elevators super well and they kept some parts of it

    what does that "yes" and "no" button do?

    • @DieselDucy
      @DieselDucy  Месяц назад

      It is for the new phones. It is required for deaf people to be able to use the phone as there is a display in the elevator and questions will be asked and you click the buttons to answer them.
