Janky MEI/Millenium hydraulic elevators at Harris Teeter in Tysons VA

(📹 6/10/2024) Here are the parking elevators at the Harris Teeter in Tysons VA. These were installed by Millenium with MEI equipment and EPCO fixtures. These are quite crappy to be honest. The biggest thing is that god awful buzzer passing chime equipped on all the cars. Clearly the cabs are a bit dirty too. These also are quite glitchy too, telling by the first car taking a century to start the motor up and the second car not allowing me to hit the main floor button on the right side COP.

i hate that floor passing chime. kinda rare to hear it on an mei

[@dmvelevatorsandmore]

It's garbage

[@Dav1205Firealarmsandelevators]

If this were a original install, it better off having the Normal MEI Beep, or the Microave beep, and one question, have you ever filmed monty elevators with the VFD Indicator, With the monty Beep as the floor passing chime?

[@dmvelevatorsandmore]

That chime is definitely not normal for a MEI. Also, yes I have filmed Monties with those chimes and indicators before. Check out my video of the Capital One Arena elevators since those have them
