Otis Hydraulic Elevator at Barton Creek Men's Dillard's.

[Julian94518]

This chime was the old chime at the old Wellington Green Mall's chime days

In my dream the chime returned

[CaptainElevator42189]

Indeed, this was the bell used from the late 1990's to the late 2000's, approximately 1997-2009.

[Julian94518]

They have the same chime in the Womens section of Dillards.

There was a chime in Wellington Green next to the one that has this similar tone

Also this gong that they use was going to be used for the Macys wing of the mall along with the beep used in the Schindler-type Innovation indicator and change to 1 2 to replace LL through UL

[Julian94518]

The chime in 2012 will be the chime that most Dovers use at Lavaca Garage and the Westin in Broward County for going up while the chime from this elevator will be for the bottom of the Dover lantern without the buzz

[CaptainElevator42189]

As with the new bell it's lower pitched, and has been used on Kone elevators from 2009 to now.

[Julian94518]

The chime in this one is almost similar to the original chime at the middle of Wellington Green Mall

Is Barton Creek Still There? Nice Elevator.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, this is a nice elevator and Barton Creek Mall is still there, doing quite well since it's in a nicer part of Austin.

[TheZekethunder]

Remember before you had the title as Esco though.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Okay, but you can look at the escalators, and they are Otis.

[TheZekethunder]

@CaptainElevator42189 Okay, sorry if I was a little mean. I just thought it was an Esco. But I filmed this elevator today because we are going to Galveston, TX and South Padre Island.

[CaptainElevator42189]

No, you weren't mean, but it's just that the escalators are Otis, and that's why I call this an Otis elevator.

[TheZekethunder]

@CaptainElevator42189 Okay. Thanks!

[TheZekethunder]

I thought this was an Esco.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Actually, it's an Otis, because of the escalators.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, that's very interesting indeed.

[KyFriedPlatypus]

Nice elevator. Interesting how this and the other Dillard's elevator have almost identicle elevators, even though the other Dillard's was always a Dillard's and this one started as something different.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, it's the camera's reaction to the lights, since it sometimes occurs with other elevator brands.

[adamant376]

Why do the lights turn off when the elevator is in motion. The over head lights, it might have been the camera, but i was watching another video of an otis elevator and the lights were blinking also.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, it is.

[buginafugreturns]

is this a public elevator

[CaptainElevator42189]

No, there is no indicator on this elevator.

[jeopardyman]

Is there an indicator?

[CaptainElevator42189]

That's because it's a big elevator.

[elevatorsonly]

So, are you considering it a service elevator?

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes.

[elevatorsonly]

Why did you type that this is a service elevator?

[CaptainElevator42189]

It is, but they were part of Otis Elevator for a short time.

[buginafugreturns]

that looks like an Esco.

[CaptainElevator42189]

No. This is the only one, and also at the Women's Dillard's, there's only one elevator there as well.

[Elevator5519]

Is There Another Elevator?

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, this is an Esco elevator, but is basically a rebranded Otis elevator.

[alpaljl]

I think this could be an Esco elevator.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, but this chime is now used on all elevator brands.

[daddy444]

The chime sounds like a Kone elevator.

[CaptainElevator42189]

I think they were attendant operated, and also, the older controllers didn't have enough room for a door close relay.

[thyssenelevator95]

Why don't old elevators have a door close button?

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, but older elevators didn't have the door close button.

[Baytrail]

Now all that's missing is a close button.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Maybe the Esco elevators were installed by the Tejas Elevator Company, even though Esco was part of the Otis Elevator Company.

[campusdispatch]

In northeast Arkansas at Arkansas State University where I work, we have several elevators with the same fixtures but the brand name is Craft. When I looked in the machine rooms of the different buildings, they were in fact Esco elevators. They look identical to this one.

[CaptainElevator42189]

No. It's all Esco equipment, or it could be second-hand Otis equipment with the Esco logo on it.

[neuroth111111]

esco cab and fixtures and otis drive system

[CaptainElevator42189]

I don't know, but that's the way it was built.

[CaptainElevator42189]

The other video was taken in the Women's Dillard's store. Again, it would have been better to have a single 4 floor building, rather than 2 separate, 2 floor buildings.

[patricknedz]

oh the other one was at Highland mall why does dillards have a building for mens and a building for women why dont hey have them in the same building like macys

[CaptainElevator42189]

Actually, this is the only elevator in the building, so it serves as a passenger and service elevator.

[Ih8escalators]

Oh Ive seen a Dillards with both

[patricknedz]

but you did a video of the other elevator in this store

[Ih8escalators]

This was the service elevator?
