Distance-20 feet/2 floors & 100 FPM.
Year-Installed/Late 1980's.

According to Wikipedia, the mall was built in the early to mid 1980's.

Maybe, but all the elevator brands used this type of bell, and is actually the Chicago code bell, with an "A" note of 900 Hz.

Yes, and this is a passenger elevator, not a freight elevator.

My camera is a FlipVideo F160W Original. As you've seen, it has awesome quality, but speaking of memory, I only get 1 hour to record (which is 1 gigabyte), and it devours the 2 AA batteries it runs on.

Yes, this too is my most favorite elevator in West Austin.

I would never have guessed that there is a following of elevator enthusiasts. It's a good thing I'm not a betting man.

"Year-Installed/Early 1980's." lol

It was installed around 2000. That mall wasnt even built till around '95.

That's interesing, and are your batteries the rechargable type, or are they standard?

Hmm, that has the same bell as at the Sears elevator (in my videos). I wonder if the Sears one is a Montgomery rather than a Westinghouse.
