THUNDERING and BUSY Westinghouse (mod. Schindler PORT) @ Sheraton Times Square - New York, NY

[Recorded: 3/20/22]
These things are extremely fast and extremely busy. I can't even begin to imagine how busy these things were when they didn't have Destination Dispatch. The weird thing about these elevators is that some PORT panels have Handicap buttons, while some don't, and the ones that have them don't even work most of the time. Also, the Lobby has the newer glass PORT panels, while all the other floors have the older panels.

I’m definitely riding these the next time I go to NYC!

[@mariokart8715]

Fast as the ones at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis

[@TechNerdNolan]

Yes

[@gpgbdaf]

It’s a damn shame there’s no longer the M-Series chime. This is still a great mod tho

[@TechNerdNolan]

I don’t think these has the M-Series chime but I assume these did have Miconic V

wtf does dc, ac mean? are they ac or dc. if they have original machines then DC.

[@ElevatorDude]

AC = Alternating Current
DC = Direct Current

AC: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_motor#:~:text=An%20AC%20motor%20is%20an,a%20second%20rotating%20magnetic%20field.
DC: ie.rs-online.com/web/generalDisplay.html?id=ideas-and-advice/dc-motors-guide#:~:text=A%20direct%20current%20(DC)%20motor,this%20energy%20into%20mechanical%20rotation.
