  • Filmed on August 11, 2017: I was in Canada last month for a vacation and I was really looking for on seeing this piece of beauty up in the penthouse at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Niagara Falls, ON. But something has gone wrong when I got up there. IT GOT MODERNIZED!😭😭😭😭😭 I did not even discover this being modded already!!! According to the hotel employee who just exited the penthouse elevator, this was modernized this past May.
    Main Elevators: Installed in 1929, modernized in the 50's or 60's and again in 2009.
    Penthouse Elevator: Installed in 1948, modernized in 2017.

    The old elevators were better than the modded ones! I remember those when I first rode those elevators... It was great! But now it's modernized?! You're not happy about that... So do I.

      Jennifer Wells this was actually probably modded by a small Canadian elevator company named Delta. Delta usually has curves on their COP Panels and Call Panels and use that chime. Definitely a Delta mod. Delta modernizes A LOT of elevators is Toronto and a lot of Southern Ontario. Easily the most common mods up here are done by them.

  • @LiftRider24
    @LiftRider24 Год назад +1

    While modernizations are upsetting to see, unfortunately it is usually done for a reason. Either the elevator breaks down too much, the parts for it are either too expensive or hard to find, or they just want to change it to make the experience in the building better.
    Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t like mods either. Thinking about the M2 slap on mod on the Hobby airport elevators makes me sick to my stomach. But despite all of these modernizations in the 2010s and 2020s, there could always be a vintage elevator out there somewhere. While I was in San Antonio last month, I knew the city was known for modding all of their elevators, and it was quite a surprise when I found a vintage Otis with GAL fixtures that I am pretty sure the building never laid a finger on. It had an very old cab that has never been redone and it ran so smoothly for its age without being a bit redone. All the buttons lit up, it had a nice quick smooth door operator and a sweet sounding motor. Only problem with it was that some of its bulbs on the floor indicator were burnt out but if they replace it, it would be in brand new condition.
