The JCPenney at Oxford Valley Mall has two vintage Dovers.

You're right, it hasn't been well taken care of over the years, but it's still a good elevator. @SchindlerHaughton, the elevator could use a little TLC tho.

Very cool elevators, and i recognize the building, this is located across the street from Oxford Valley Mall. It's a shame these used to be Dovers, but Allied did a great job on it. @SchindlerHaughton

That is probably some of the cleanest early Series 1 fixtures I think I've ever seen, pretty much mint! Looks better than a lot of elevators that aren't 35 years old haha I'm not sure if the controller was replaced, but it does seem to have a pretty notable delay between pressing the button and registering the call. It otherwise seems to perform pretty close to an 80s Otis controller though, so it's pretty hard to tell at least through the video. I think the controller these used was only made obsolete in 2022 so it may have been replaced, but it would be weird and very recent if it was.

I luv older Otis series 1 elevators, i've been on an actual older series 1 otis elevator once before, it was in Conneticut at Danbury fair mall, actually twice, the glass elevator at the same mall was also one before it got a slap on by Schindler, cool elevator and great vid. @SchindlerHaughton

It looks amazing, luv the elevator and the video, thx so much.

Even tho this thing was innovated, it still acts like the Dover it was, well it still is a Dover, it just got innovated, someone else said this was a Montgomery, and i OG thought it was a Haughton but i found out later that it was a Dover, and surprisingly, this is actually and Olidraulic i think.

lol i just filmed one of these in a forever 21 like less than 20 minutes ago😂

This is literally identical to my local mall's elevator!! It is now being modernized, which was long overdue

Props to the owner for taking care of this Elevator

My local mall only has one main passenger elevator as well, and it's a Dover hydro from 1979 with Traditional fixtures. It's extremely slow, has a lot of door issues (primarily being extremely slow as well), but since May, it has finally begun a modernization. Still have yet to find out who's modding it. As of now, it's completely out of service, meaning people are having to walk all the way across to use one of the three department stores' elevators.

Check out the Marriott marquis New York again they got modded

Base model Kone.

MCE I believe

9:21 It’s the Hyatt CLT Sky Suite

Eight years after this video was made, Samanea had taken control of the mall. In light of the covid-19 pandemic the owner’s plans to reestablish retail stores on the second floor was cancelled in favor of developing sports facilities in those spaces. About a little less than half of the south side of the second floor would become a sports training facility with the space where Saks Off 5th sat on becoming an indoor trampoline park. In late 2023 the food court was closed off to the public to make room for a simulator attraction opening in 2025. Despite this and the opening of an Asian supermarket in circuit city’s space in 2022, the second floors west wing remains vacant.

It got innovation

Hey!! I loved watching your channel, and other elevator channels when i was younger. If you know, what happened to revo8778?

Sucks that this got a slap on mod

Series 1s & Series 4s are my favorite kinds of Otis!

It sucks that this store is probably closed

This is a beautiful installation! The motor sounds great and I love that cab design compared to their new modern snap cabs. Nice to see that this is maintained well at the same time.

It sounds like a diesel engine idling going up

The building across the street has Series 1!!

Schindler 5500.

Original motor too?

Almost identical to Lehigh Valley.

It's actually from 2001.

I've noticed a lot of Wingate hotels becoming other brands.

I believe all the new ones that were installed in the renovation are 5500s including the ones in the terminals, excluding the one in the new area of Terminal A which is a Minnesota hydro. Weirdly the ones past security are vandal resistant, but the ones in the non-secure area are not. Really think they should have swapped that since these get A LOT more use and often have broken buttons lol Don't know why they went with a Minnesota in terminal A though, as far as I know its the only Minnesota in the Charlotte area besides the huge ones in Ikea.

i couldn’t find these for the life of me when i was here

they should have 2 elevators there.

I filmed a Series 1 that was installed in 1980!

We just checked in tonight 6/1/2024 1230am. I knew it was going to be bad just by noticing no cars in the parking lot. Then we check in and it’s just not that clean. But then we got into elevator…no railings, looks like they have been reaped off, mold smell everywhere where, opened the door to room, stench of smoke. Closed door and walked out. Walked to hotel lobby and told them peace out and rolled our suitcases to embassy suite. Just don’t stay here. I think it was an abandoned hotel that has fallen out of repairs and somebody somewhere has convinced Hyatt to switch names to Sky Suite and have tried to just make it work. Trust me when I say do not stay there. Go to trip advisor and look it up and read comments there too.

this thing was extremely busy when i filmed it a year ago

nice that BWI has a talking elevtor.

Waldbaum's self ch

Especially for Macy*s at this mall to be one floor. That's not common for them (Macy*s) to have a store that's one floor while some other anchors in a mall have 2.

Funny.. I literally stayed there a few weeks ago.

both tower elevators make me yawn.

Lucky catch!

Very riveting 😂

Thos was HILARIOUS. As an RVM fan, I’ve actually never had printers crap out. I did once manage to bork a Tomra T-710 by making throw the infamous “smartsort stalled” error.

montgomery kone with innovation bruiser

Have you done something like this at other airports?

Same elevator as my work omg. Reminds me of stop and shop

These early Impulses are definitely pretty neat...the building I was working in recently has one as the service elevator (the Main Elevators recently got a MAD mod) and it has an INCREDIBLE sounding Dry Powered pump!

Finding a 330A mod isn't something you see everyday, but neither is finding a 330A that talks! These definitely aren't that exciting and I question why they got modded so soon after installation, but they're definitely unique

I take that Hyatt Place has a contract with TKE based on the recent videos from Hyatt Place Hotels.
