@@MasterTechPaul yes they are! 800 feet per minute!!!

It’s actually original as this was filmed a few days after being in service. Idk why they outsourced to EPCO on this install.

@@traction1519 That's what I mean about the bell chime

@@bryanschlippjr4894 Yeah this was an odd installation for them.

@@traction1519 At least ots still TK

@@bryanschlippjr4894 Ya TK is very reliable. They make the best hydros on the market along with MEI and Mitsubishi’s MCE hydros

That’s not the case. KONE didn’t exist until around 2001 and these fixtures were released after 2010.

@@traction1519 weird because in 2011 it was still a Kone kss 140 elevator this Kone is not a mod from 2015 it was probably from 2010

@@Theplanekidd it probably got modded in 2010.

It’s neat

This one is maintained well unlike Westfield Culver City

Nah unlike the parking elevators at deck E del amo mall

This would have replaced a Montgomery. This is the original wing of the mall

I don’t think it’s that way but what I think is it was probably installed in 2014 2015 then it got a slap on mod by Schindler

@@Theplanekidd this wing has been HEAVILY renovated so you can barely tell this is an original wing

I’m sure these look terrible now. This mall is not located in the greatest area

Yes there's a lot of criminals around this area. They should but a security camera inside the elevator because these are super dirty and messed up. If you know metro elevators he recorded this elevator and it was dirty but at least this elevator has a epic motor

@@Theplanekidd Yeah they should have more cameras. Gardena is not too far away and is one of the most unsafe neighborhoods in Los Angeles County

I recorded this elevator but the back wall was painted white and people just vandalized it they also littered in the elevator throwing bottles and cans yeah this elevator now looked terrible

Probably was dry powered but might have been replaced by now.

You’re right. It’s an MEI like the Mission Valley San Diego Target used to be

I think I know which ones you’re referring to! Can’t wait to check em out soon!

It’s a nice one!

The Aquarium of the Pacific is amazing!

Yeah not maintained well lol

Wdym?

@@Theplanekidd Not maintained very well, this elevator is hit or miss unfortunately

No the elevator was not a 1980 Montgomery elevator because in 2011 it was still the same

Did you film the Mitsubishi Sigma AI 2200s when you were here?

@@traction1519 You mean the ones in the parking deck?

@@metroelevators4619 Yes. The south parking deck. The north parking deck are modded Westinghouses from 1987.

@@traction1519 oh yeah, the 3 glass ones that had been covered up and known as anti scenic

@@metroelevators4619 Yeah those ones.

I wouldn’t in this mall. They have ominous signs about cameras and security

@@traction1519 Update: They have a bunch of security but they don’t do anything at all 💀💀💀

@@MassiveMouthbreather I figured they don’t really care lol I just don’t bother usually with mall freights unless I know where they are

@@traction1519 for Westfield Malls, if you search “Westfield (whatever the name of the mall is) evac plan” it will show you the full plan including where the freight elevators are

You can find where freight elevators at Westfield malls are if you search online

Yes! These are amazing!!!

HELL YUHHHHHH

Very nice.

They’re slowly expanding around the US and have actually made it as far east now as Boston! Hopefully they will continue to expand so everyone around the US is able to appreciate the best elevator system around.

@@traction1519 Yeah. And you'd think by now, they'd have these things in Madison or Milwaukee. Maybe they will by the next 5 years or so.

@@badgerstateelevators6363 That’s for sure!

I think it was something with the codes that they need to be a certain pitch to be fully ADA and code compliant. So dumb in my opinion.

Lmaoooo don’t even remind me about my backlog😂😂😂😂😂

I know! I’d love to show you this one next time you’re in the area

P1 is Projection Booth 1 and P2 is Projection Booth 2. This used to be a department store but got completely redone to accommodate the movie theatre in 1999.

@@traction1519 What was the department store at the time

@@BDawg-zt2cu Woolworth’s I believe. Then became Sports Chalet in 1989. Unsure if the original elevator from Woolworth’s survived or a new one accommodated Sports Chalet. But Sports Chalet moved to Grossmont Center in 1998 and this elevator was added in from 1998 to 1999 for the Regal Cinemas

When my friend Kincaid worked here he said it would break often and he got stuck in it a few times

No I actually workout here after work. You can’t get in here without a membership

@@traction1519 Oh I know, I go to this gym. I was more joking than anything. I thought it was cool to see a lift review in a Gym.

@@zepplin839 Lmao yeah I never rode this thing again after I filmed it haha

I know right? This was an absolute downgrade and a complete waste of money

It said Target Elevator on the panel though

@@traction1519 Hmm interesting

This is a Montgomery because of the older innovation buttons

@@FOSK-lc9opInnovation buttons does not necessarily mean Montgomery

Yeah definitely

Really? That’s interesting! Not what I would have expected. This certainly doesn’t run like a LULA lol

@@traction1519 Not even close of a LULA LOL.

@@Jon9429 I’ve seen more Modular Elevators that run like a LULA lol

I like those better too. However these were the ones used in the 1980s up until the mid-1990s in the US. They changed the design to the ones you are talking about in the mid-1990s and these indicators were never used after 1997. The Sigma AI 2100 was the first model to use the dot matrix floor indicator and was released in the US market in 1994. It was replaced by the Sigma AI 2200 in 2001 according to an article I read.

Yes, and D-pitched

Thank you! And anytime!😊

It is

I won’t delete!

2 only

Yup! This was an amazing and unexpected find!

YESSIRRRRRRR🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

This would be considered the famous Montgomery ‘Supernova’ motor. It’s got the distinctive ‘D’ pitch that most Monty hydros have

@@traction1519 Yeah. If only they all had that.

@@badgerstateelevators6363 the ones from the mid-1970s to mid-1980s are mostly the ones that do it.
