Ayer: Revisiting the Run-Down Schindler Hydraulic Elevator @ Page Moore Block

We come back to the Page Moore Block (Building) in Downtown Ayer, Massachusetts.
Was in the neighborhood, and decided to come back and see if anything has changed. The only change was the chair being removed from the elevator.
We also get a look at the "ADA Compliance" of the elevator landings. The archetectural design is compliant, but what is left in this area makes it very hard for anyone in a wheelchair to get around.
The elevator is still nasty. This needs to be cleaned, and Nudge Mode works in a weird way: it waits until the door is nearly closed before going off.

Interesting to see the MT button as the call cancel button with the HT fixtures.

From what I understand, this was upgraded. Seems to make sense.

No, actually HT always uses MT fire service. The only thing that was upgraded is the chimes. They used to be low pitched. The reason why the door is very weak is because Schindler always used that door operator for there elevators in 2001.

Umm.....

IT'S A SCHINDLER!!

lol....

I haven't seen some the the MT fire service on a HT. I may film some HT and check. I remember when the chimes were low pitched. There's some Schindler 330A's here in Little Rock that still uses the low pitch chime.

I've only seen those here in YouTube-land, not in person. I guess this WAS one of those at some point in time.

Pretty familiar with it. Not in person, but watching the videos. I never really had to holddoors open long, excep the Chronicle shoot in the garage, but those don't have it.

[georgef551]

Louder in person.

With a good bass setup, you can hear it's getting a tad low on hydraulic oil as well.

thats a loud motor!

Got it. I didn't know how familiar you are with nudge mode. :)
