Worcester: 1907 Otis Traction Elevator Derby @ Commerce Bank Building

We head back to the Commerce Bank Building, downtown Worcester, Massachusetts, to perform an Elevator Derby, by attempting to ride all the elevators, before YouTube's 10-minute time limit expires.
(In the case of this start, more like 10:59 is the end.)

These Sound Like They Have Newer Gearless traction Motors In Them. The Motors From The 70's Where Not Very Noticeable.

These things have been ruined to the n'th degree. Surprised anything is original at this point.

I been in the 1910 OTIS Elevator, Completely Original but it's a manual gated elevator

@JonathanElevator29

Lucky you. That makes me more upset on this butcher job Otis did, twice.

@skyman2002 No. The motor is original. The comtroller was replaced.

It's a lose-lose situation. Keep it going, people get pissed. Hold it down, calms verves, makes viewers upset.

I plan on a derby retry in the future, now that I noticed some things I missed, during playback.

I know.

I was also thinking, after the fact, I should've stopped at 7, and try to ride the 3'rd one.

@georgef551 WOW no security!

@KONEelevatorman111

I noticed that AFTER ?I watched the video.

May be a redo, which is very easy here (No security!)

The all the right elevator appears t be a service elevator because there is a call button on the side of the door.
