Run-Down Montgomery Hydraulic Elevator at Meijer (2 of 2)

Riding another trashed, run-down elevator at another Meijer store near Flint, MI. (Meijer is a department store and grocery store in one, like a Wal-Mart Supercenter, only more expensive, of course.)

Uhh, okay...apparently, one or two employees there noticed me with the camera. As I was looking over my video, the manager in charge that day approached me, and kindly asked me what I was taking pictures of. I told him that I was just an elevator fan and I was taping the elevator. He just reminded me of the store policy and that I can't be going around the store taking pictures (which I wouldn't do, because it's pointless). I offered to show him what I had, but he didn't even want to bother looking at it. He probably let it slide because I was being polite and courteous. I'm going to assume that he trusted me.

TECHNICAL SPECS:
Make: Montgomery
Type: Hydraulic
Capacity: 2000 Lbs.
Number of Floors: 2
Year Installed: Probably mid-1980's

I find that offensive 'garbage can on a cable'. Vectors are the best fixtures ever designed...

@Vanool35 Oh, I agree, don't get me wrong. I too like the Vector fixtures. I just meant that the elevator itself was kind of dirty and not well kept. Most of the other Vectors I've seen were relatively nice; this one is just in dire need of cleaning.

I didn't know people were into types of elevators so much.

Anyways, it's good that the manager didn't hassle you much. Have fun! :)

@Strideo1 Thanks. :)

I love those Montgomery Vector button. I found one of them at Carson Pirie Scott at Ford City Mall! It's so hard to find it in Chicago.

They are not HORRIBLE, they are commonly used and very run down.
