@Nicholas992 I started in the elevator for a reason, to not look suspicious in front of the lobby guards.

Now this is fine work from my favorite company! YAY SCHINDLER!!! Very nice blue buttons! Comboe of the 400A and 500A! Are these MRL or 500As?

[escalatorgeek881]

These are interestingly 400A., and I am amazed to find one with an express zone and with custom fixtures, the aspects of a true high-rise elevator..

[suzzex]

I thought so, and the buttons kinda resemble Signa4.

[escalatorgeek881]

I agree, but I still can't really compare these fixtures with any other common fixtures. These fixtures are obviously rare. Charlotte and Rock Hill have some very interesting elevators and some weird buildings, including one of them that had turnstiles only for the low-rise bank while the high-rise bank was wide open. dieselducy found a cylindrical elevator in one of the buildings that I simply walked past and didn't film. Don't even mention One Wachovia Center's elevators. Wow!!!!

I've never even seen blue buttons in my life before!!! That goes to show how rare they are. They are so sophisticated though, and a nice break from red and white. I think for parking decks, they should make each button have a specific LED color from each floor.

[escalatorgeek881]

That would be cool if the color of the button light corresponded with the floor color code or the elevator bank color code. Example, the green elevators would have green buttons, the blue elevators would have blue buttons, etc.

[suzzex]

That would be epic!!! Maybe one of us will run into one! I think it might be an Otis, since they like to do that. On the other hand, it could be a Schindler since they are so common in parking decks. I can't even imagine purple HT or blue MT or even green VT!!! I could just see it now!!!!!!!

otis elevator!!!!

[suzzex]

That is a Schindler. It has Schindler chimes.

[IAdvertise4YouOnly]

damn

[JonElevator]

Wow, these are nice! I LOVE the blue indicator and the buttons, the indicator is made by CE Electronics, because I saw that one on their website. I think the fixtures are Innovation. And I never heard the 400A voice with custom fixutures. The two chimes is interesting also.

[suzzex]

I thought you didn't like Schindler!!
