    I love this. Brings back memories of when I was a kid when my father would take me to work with him in Manhattan. Around noon he'd go around midtown to visit his accounts and many of them had old Otis elevators in their buildings like this one (without the scratched-in graffiti, of course). Excellent video. Gold star. 🌟

    When you’re at the top floor in the elevator just starts up the sound the motor makes us just so beautiful

    It's really sad to see this epic old lift in such a bad condition. You can tell how beautiful it once was just by looking at the cab

    Nice phallus on the door. Makes me super confident on the safety of this elevator!

    I like the motor of that traction elevator. It is EPIC and so vintage.

    It's had a partial modernisation but this is still a very scary lift - love the way the doors open in a "I don't really give a s**t" attitude style HAHA! Great lift.

    That motor is almost as loud as lifts I went to in Glasgow over in Scotland. They were the first single door and single speed lifts I’ve ever been in. It had a nice loud motor (I think it was original from 1972, but I’m not sure)

    Wow, that's a pretty run down place. Perfect for beno, great lift for him to play around with. Is that a wooden cab or does it only appear to look that way?

    The buttons seemed to have been modernized at a later time because they look in better shape than what other old elevator buttons look like

    @upanddownadventures 8 лет назад +3

    Did you get to ride the freight elevator? Also, is this an industrial building? That could partly explain why it is so run down looking.

    • @aybgreg6748
      @aybgreg6748 2 года назад

      Yeah, it looks like it is or was a Warehouse.
