  • Hey, did that counter on G work back when this was taken?

  • No, it has been broken for a long time. 

  • one of the floors are missing

  • Level 4 is not served by the elevator, and has offices up there, which is kind of dumb not to have the elevator serve only 4 floors in a building with 5 floors.

  • Yes, I wish the elevators of today looked like these, and were built better as well.

  • Yes, they are very cool looking, and replacement parts for these are not only very hard to find, but also very expensive.
