    For some odd reason, I think of McDonald's when I watch your intro card. ;P

    • @Jamestube8439
      @Jamestube8439 Před 4 lety

      Perhaps because of the STL Arch, since McDonald's has the golden arch, or since Jason and Andrew meet up all the time and Andrew is always going to McDonald's.

      @@stlelevators i love the pitch of the motors. it has that really particular sound that only some older Dovers have. sounds like the ones from the 60s on NEA Elevator’s channel before they were modded. has an almost “rattly” sound to them (in a good way!) if that makes sense lol

    submersible power units sound terrible, likely worn bearings, armature might be running out of balance. Sounds like a great deal of vibration. I am a bit surprised traction elevators were not installed, being a hotel. Eight floors for a hydraulic elevator is pushing it.

    I found a 8 floor Dover hydro that was almost twice as fast as this one but it was really low on oil, which is terrible for the pump.
