These modernizations were done with respect to the character of these elevators. This was well done
Agreed!
I LOVE that they kept the cabs and floor indicators original in the residential cars. They ALL used to look like this including the Signature restaurant & bar (95/96) and observatory (94) express cars except they all had round Thyratron Tube touch buttons.
Dana Danarosana same!!! These haven’t changed too much over the years, and that’s good!
Thank Dave Vincy for taking such good care of Big John"s life blood! Fast ass cars, nice red Vans!
it looks fancy ngl
I would say that this is a tasteful mod.
Interesting to see an analog indicator with that amount of floors.
Wow they kept the old floor indicator
I would have gotten off at the 92nd floor to get a view.
No view unfortunately
You naughty guy! 🤣
I actually know Mr Hancock himself and he let me in
I wish it talks with the famous OTIS voice and not CE. That would have been so cool to hear it saying for 90 floors. The highest we've heard so far is the 85th floor.
Installed 4-20-69
Sunday, April 20, 1969
If I remember correctly, 93 is a mechanical floor.
Very Fast Elevator
Yeah, rubbing your feet against the carpet causes those annoying electrical shocks.
I know there's a certain secret special way to get up there on the high-rise residential floors. Past security.
Marcus Maupins that’s how I got up lol
@Marcus Maupins I didn’t know this building is a mixed of office/apartment building
Why keep pressing a button that's already lighted?
Because the click of those buttons felt satisfying. Are you offended by me pushing an elevator button? Lol
@@elevatorsoflakecountyTV Haha! No, but thanks for answering. I wondered why someone who knew elevators would waste time doing that. Lots of non-mechanical elevator passengers do that and it makes me chuckle & shake my head. Peace.
@@KutWrite ah, ok!! I see
Are they replacing that elevator with the open shaft?
rodney1279 nah, just replacing the governor cable.
@@elevatorsoflakecountyTV oh ok
What is the maximum floor in the John Hancock center.
The highest floor that any elevator goes to in the building is 98. There are also floors 99 and 100 but they are only accessible by ladders.
What is the travel distance of this elevators?
Probably around 500ft if I had to guess
Also why is 93 locked off
Blue Shell it’s a mechanical floor
Why did you miss the service elevators
That is because SPS8 doesn’t want to get busted by a staff. You got the absolute answer for that question.
@greenshell389 if you want to check out the service elevators, pull up to the building and find it lmao. I think you had a chance to ride them when one of the express elevators was malfunctioning and broke down
What are you five years old?
No Ray, I’m actually six years old
