Creepy Armor Elevator in the Gertz Plaza Mall [Jamaica Center] [100th Video]

Before it was the Gertz Mall , it was 'the wiz' (as in nobody beats the wiz) music and electronics store , i used to buy all my records there on the 2nd floor, the first floor had electronics. I believe it closed in 1989, then it became the Gertz mall.

This elevator doesn't seem like that much of a death trap. I have seen many worse ones. It looks slightly run-down, but still historic.

This was probably one of their service elevators, based on the size and how there's a large bank of elevators on the fire plan, probably the passenger elevators in that store. If you go back, try and get to that large bank.

@ih8thyssenkrupp I did at that time. It was buttonless.

@revo8778 That's just DUMB to send people on a creepy ass service elevator rather than a bank of elevators that were intended for passengers and were probably MUCH nicer. Probably to save energy, but I would've done that by just turning on 1 or 2 of the elevators in that bank. Sending people on this is PATHETIC. Also, are there other service/freighters here?

OK just looked up Gertz Flagship on Wiki. Closed in 1969. So that elevator is from the 60's. Still looks like it.

Looks like something from the early 1970's if not the late 1960s. Even the floor covering looks like it may be the original.
