This elevator replaced a 1967 elevator. The original elevator had Bluff City imprinted on the buttons. When I came in 1997 until decided to modernize, it was a very loud elevator. The machine room is in the basement but the loud hum it made could be heard throughout. The original elevator also had leveling problems as the doors would open at the floor and the elevator would constantly keep moving and pass the floor and then re level. It was a trip hazard. That is why you see two holes in the door at the beginning of the video. One was the old keyhole. They completely replaced the cab and the original pump just leaving the cylinder and guide rails.

Very interesting just buy looking at it. 2 drop key holes and a low oil light on the call station.

@cannycart Yea they left the original drop key hole on the left doors but they no longer work as the other keyhole was added with the mod. Also all of the new mods on campus here have the low oil light on the first landing
