@dieselducy i am fred your wrong it's a thyssenkrupp elevator

[SabreFan84]

Ah, a pre-2008 Thyssenkrupp!

[suzzex]

These are DEFINITELY former Dover.

[dieselducy]

@suzzex Still Dover. U can hear the switches as the elevator moves.

[suzzex]

@dieselducy That COP was replaced...

Nice Hotel that is wierd how you have to go up steps to get to the 1 elevator though, I remember doing that when I was there

[MegaZeldafan1]

Epic fail in the lobby due to the Wet Paint sign.

[gta4life55]

I guess in order to get up there you must take the elevator to the right send it to level 2 then get off then send it to a high level for instance 7 then hit call and wait for the other elevator and go back down to one

Did you ever manage to locate the original "Dieselducy", or is this from your extensive backlog?

[dieselducy]

@QuietSundayLibrary from my backlog. dieselducy #2 sadly i believe is history..

[TheDaniel500]

@dieselducy what happened to him?

[ElevatingBoston]

That lobby mezz level is actually too high for an ADA ramp to fit in that room. The elevator was put there to cheat/satisfy ADA requirements. It looks like the rise is about 3'6". That would require at least 42' of ramp (1/12), with a landing after 30'. What they should have done was turn both of these elevators 90 degrees and gave at least one of them a rear door. It would have impacted the floorplan slightly, but it would have been a much more practical approach.

What is down that hallway?

[elev8m8]

there is NOT two separate call buttons on the other floors, not ADA compliant right there.

[thewildeeper]

I guess there's a hallway to the left of the elevators @ the top of the stairs. BTW these were marked Thyssenkrupp, not Dover

[dieselducy]

@thewildeeper they are dover. the TK is only a sticker..

[thewildeeper]

@dieselducy As I understood Dover is owned by Thyssen, so unless marked as such how can you say whether it is one brand or the other? Like for this video dieselducy posted back in August:

[dieselducy]

@thewildeeper the date these were installed. back in the 80s, TK bought dover in 2000

[thewildeeper]

@dieselducy Okay that makes sense, thanks!

[airplane190]

@thewildeeper but its modernized by dover
