Revisiting the Antique Imperial Hydraulic Elevator @ Sentinel Office Centre Roanoke VA

HIGH QUALITY add &fmt=18 to the url. This is a revisit to the Imperial elevator at the Sentinal Office Centre in Roanoke VA. It is a very nice elevator but small. This take was done with minimal monologue so you can hear the hydraulics in action. I also used the High quality setting on My sony DSC-T1 when I photographed the elevator for this visit. here is a pic of the building http://flickr.com/photos/dieselducy/3290752673/

Wow the elevator traveled past the top floor and releveled as you can see when the doors opened on floor 2.

[dieselducy]

yep.. it goes past the floor and levels down. it is very strange.

If it's an imperial elevator, Darth Vader could have ridden it :P

Nice elevator. It is in good condition. Also, I like the motor. When was this elevator installed?

I've been on a Chenoweth-Kern elevator older than that one, and almost broke it (it hit the top of the shaft).

Finally upped the tiny B&A Traction, with 2K lbs capacity.

It's also a video resonse to this.

This is very nice. When was it installed?

the motor actually sounded creepy almost as creepy as the one at jacksonville medical center
