Montgomery Vector Hydraulic elevator @ Bloomingdales Mall Of America Bloomington MN

[FGelevators]

also its dissapointing that this store is closing because these are one of my favorite elevators here

[awesomo181]

i heard this store is closing

[FGelevators]

@awesomo181 yah me too it is so is White Flint, Perimeter and OakBrook (home store)

[giggleblaggle]

Don't know if you heard, but this store is scheduled to close in the next few months. Hopefully these elevators don't get taken out, but they probably will. The location will be completely redone, adding in a basement level for more shopping. The space will be split up for different businesses, so these elevators may be taken out and be replaced by new ones.

[FGelevators]

@giggleblaggle these elevators might be still here but they'll probably be modernized since they're adding another floor. thats one of the reasons why an elevator may get modernized to add another floor

[giggleblaggle]

@FGelevators Yes, but the old fixtures and stuff will be replaced...It just wouldn't be the same.

[logicbam]

Cheesy Chime

[TheZekethunder]

Nice elevator. When was this installed?

[ElevatorNick]

That location opened in 1990

[FGelevators]

@ElevatorNick 1992 actually.

[ElevatorNick]

The Bloomingdales in Palm Beach Gardens Florida is a Montgomery Twinkie-M Vector but the 1 is flashing

[ElevatorNick]

It does squeak they need WD40

[Busje1993]

[giggleblaggle]

Haha I just filmed this elevator today, as well as every other elevator in the mall (I'm pretty sure). I will upload them soon...

[FGelevators]

[crazyboy72375]

[mdbv25]

TWINKIE-M! 

[Vanool35]

best fixtures ever

[TheZekethunder]

Nice elevator, and Vector is the name for the controller and fixtures used on Montgomery elevators from the 1980s to 1990s. Also, I wonder why these buttons are Non-ADA compliant, even though the rival against the ADA compliant Dover Impulse fixtures.

[maxmorglu]

the fixtures remind me of an old shindler :P

[narnia0100]

why do u want the door close button to work?

[elevatorgolfer9]

i've been on this elevator, the bloomingdale's in downtown chicago had montgomery vectors like these but were modernized

[revo8778]

You would think that Bloomingdale's would put in a nicer cab.

[elevatorfreak112]

wow that is a nice elevator i have a montgomery kone elevator that i filmed in panama that you should watch it was a nice elevator

[elevatorsonly]

I found a ADA compliant Vector!

[dea41396returns]

[mschafe132]

Sears at the MOA used to be just like these until they modernized them a little whila go.

[dea41396returns]

did they need to be modernized?

[techisforme]

What does Vector mean?

[welcome2uniqueness]

the cab is very bright. This elevator is a nice treat.

[dea41396returns]

Disappointing for a Bloomingdale's

[dieselducy]

I thought it was pretty nice....

[crapper1]

wow a mint condition vector one of the most rarest things you will see next to a gated door elevator

[elevatorman17]

nice elevator

[ElevatorMan2012]

What's the difference between Vector and Twinkie-M?

[crapper1]

twinkie m is the style ofthe montgomery logo found in the elevator the lines that make up the m roughly resemle twinkie snacks the vector is the style of fixtures you see in this video

[ElevatorMan2012]

Oh, that's a cool comparison! Who came up with that?

[dieselducy]

Twinkie-M is not even a real fixture name. Twinkie is actually a trademark of Hostess which makes the snack food. i have no idea where the name "Twinkie-M" came from but it was obviously made up..

[Ih8escalators]

I think it was sethn172

[dea41396returns]

@ElevatorMan2012 sethn172 when he was on YouTube... He also came up with "Globe & Parallelogram" too...

[Natesmodelrailroad]

Oooh, very nice. I've seen a few of those before.

[trainlova12]

[ElevatorMan2012]

It's a certain model made by Montgomery.
