This is an interesting set of 300A's with Adam's Survivors Plus CA instead of the usual MT Fixtures. The Panels are layed out oddly, and there are 2 COP's per elevator. Very interesting. Also, notice that the Call Stations have EPCO SSL.

These 3 elevators serve the casino and the attached parking garage. While these look generic af, these run very nicely and are in excellent condition for their age! They even talk!
By a stroke of luck, I manage to ride all 3 elevators. I originally filmed the middle and right cabs, but when I tried calling one off camera, I got the left cab and filmed it as well for the hell of it. Not a single interruption while riding these either, despite them being busy. Talk about luck!

Here is a solo elevator on the other side of the garage.
Like the other 2, this doesn't have EPCO WNR Fixtures, but rather Adam's Designer Fixtures (or WN, same thing) but under EPCO's brand due to the EPCO Base. The last two ran pretty sketchy, and this one isn't much different.

In the state I filmed these at, they were quite annoying and unreliable. One elevator was parked on the 1st floor and refused to go despite input (me and another passenger off camera were struggling, lol), so that left only one working elevator in operation.
The COP's got replaced in 2000 with GAL VPW for some reason, but everything else is original. It used to have JetPlus as seen by the Call Stations. These run okay.

After 1.5 Years of Mod Hell, the mod is complete. Supposedly, Asheville Elevators did this mod, and likely the same with Wall Street. Sadly, I was a month too late from the original cab (and to ask for parts) and AdazElevatorz was the last to film it in it's original state. It definitely looked more unique originally compared to the original Wall Street Garage elevator.
Like the Wall Street Garage, this originally had Adam's Fixtures and got a complete mod with PTL Fixtures. Wall Street got done in a few months and was a fairly good mod, but this mod took 1.5 DAMN YEARS TO COMPLETE. I don't know if it was a lack of parts, techs, or what, but that's pretty pathetic that it took this long to get it done and working. This used to serve 5 floors, but now only serves 3.
The mod is virtually the same as Wall Street, with PTL Centurion buttons (the best VR button today), new machinery, controller, and motor, and an overall complete overhaul with a basic steel cab. This actually runs fairly well, but the overall quality elsewhere leads a bit to be desired. The Indicator glitched out and the exterior indicator doesn't even work. How come everything got done better at Wall Street in just a few months, while this was in mod hell and STILL feels incomplete???
While I prefer the modded cab at Wall Street Garage over the original, I think I prefer how the older cab was here was over this mod. While not a terrible mod by any means, I mean it operates and runs well, it's disappointing quality wise compared to the really good mod over at Wall Street Garage they handled better there than over here.
FUN FACT: The Chime used in the intro is actually from the Wall Street Garage, fitting enough!

Here is the 2nd Pre 1988 Dover Impulse I've filmed. For the most part, it seems mostly original and it runs pretty well for its age. It's a pretty charming cab!

According to the records, this is stated as a ThyssenKrupp, which more than likely means this was possibly a Dover at one point.
This elevator was modded likely in the 2000’s by Cavinder Elevator with PTL Performer. Considering Cavinder has more interesting and better mods out there than other companies, this mod right here is a disappointingly mediocre mod.

Welcome to Appalachian State University, a college that is a huge ass city and generally impossible to film every elevator here without coming back multiple times. I got a total of 11 elevators during my visit in August while helping a friend move into their dorm.
These were once Dover Traditionally Borings, and then got replaced with a shitty Schindler HXPress Mod. I think these were modded in 2021 and they ALREADY show signs of cheaping out. For one, the indicator on the one I got is glitching out and showing floor numbers impossible with HXPress like 12 and 96. Not only that, these are slower than molasses. These definitely don't run at the speed of 100 FPM like the original Dovers did. What a downgrade.

These cab serve different sides of the commons building, cab 1 being to the right of the place and car 2 to the left. The 1st cab is a basic elevator with a lots of unpleasant noise to go with it. The 2nd cab is another basic elevator, but it makes less noise and does jolt a bit. Not much to say about these minus both of them being double doored elevators.
