Horrible Motor! Montgomery Elevators-Macy's Women's Westfield Valley Fair Mall-San Jose, CA

Oh my...the first elevator's motor sounds very unhealthy! I've never heard such a horrible traction motor before. These were modded hella!!!! These were originally OTIS with black button, then modded by Montgomery in the 90's with A-Series, then modded AGAIN by an unknown company with ERM, and now modded AGAIN by Schindler!!! That's wild! The right elevator has a broken mechanical floor-passing chime, while the left elevator has an annoying buzzer and beep. Btw, the fixtures LOOK like Innovation Pinnacle or MaD, but they're NOT. They push nothing like either, but like Adams Survivor contacts. Very interesting set of elevators indeed...

Something's gone haywire with the motor. While a long shot, maybe an under-voltage, faulty contact magnetic starting control one of the three phases? Sounds like it's not running at full speed.

[@VancityElevators]

i guess this Macy's wants you to promote the many fixtures they offer for you based on back to back modernizations

[@LEVCKSHK]

Seems like the door operator also need to get better maintenance as well.

[@Seppen552]

I know it sounds unhealthy, but the motor sounds good at the same time!

[@DarkBoo007]

I was watching the video and said "That motor is awful for a hydro". Then said "Its a fast hydro tho". Read description and saw "traction". That motor is RIDICULOUS.

[@winxp4587]

Sounds like a diesel truck redlining

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

They sound like MAD Atoll

[@ProspectElevators]

Ultimate Macys magic, except when it comes to elevators, this is why people over here want Marshall Fields back, and I think A Series was discontinued around 1990 so it's likely more of a 80s mod than a 90s one then got modded twice for no reason, very bizarre elevators

[@TheMatsushitaMan]

Bearings have gone bust.

[@t.iklgabe3609]

You are right , that motor definitely does not sound good.

[@marquis_da_beast]

The motor is not sounding good?

[@alanwong953]

I mean Schindler

[@LVElevators1]

Nice sounding motor! Nah JK its not.

[@alanwong953]

These elevators got modded by achindler

[@Venturafirefanatic]

Ugh gotta love crappy mods!

[@AlecRoth-id8fp]

The fixtures are the newer signa4 style from TK

[@Jowevator3219]
