Otis (mw. TKE G-Power) traction elevators at the Forbes Semple Garage in Pittsburgh PA

(📹 6/14/2024) These are some Otis elevators modded with (what the mw. derives from) Thyssenkrupp G-Powers at the Forbes Semple Garage in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh PA. The mod itself feels more like a generic mod then a Thyssenkrupp OEM mod telling by the feel of this, the motor, and some of the other equipment like the GAL door operator and the older CE Electronics voice module going off at an unusual time for a TK controller (these might actually be on a generic controller, who knows). These also have MAD Atoll buttons with rare microswitches. I like the Atoll buttons on these better than the ones with the usual switches. This is also the same garage that has the super glitchy World Dryer NoTouch I filmed here for my hand dryer channel and for HandDryers 4U.
