Andrew, are u sure this is hydrualic, it sounds like traction

[dieselducy]

yep, as there is no penthouse whatsoever and the machine room is next to the elevator. the fan was very noisy so you could barely hear the motor going up.

Days Inn is a Nazi front!

what does that machine room sound like ?

That's interesting how they have the "do not use elevators in case of emergency" sign on the door itself. All of the elevators I've ever used have these signs on the wall by the call buttons.

There's a phone in there, but it's the push-to-call speaker type.

no phone not a good thing so if the thing gets stuck with some1 in it there screwed pretty much rite?

That's a pretty fast Dover.
