  • With two guest appearances! Alpaljl and ElevationStationProductions are also along for the ride!
    And what a ride! This may be the most dramatic elevator ride I've been on yet! The noises, the shakes, this thing really feels like a death trap.
    More videos from LA with Alpaljl are coming, but this is the only one with ESP.

      @thejackdrees Před 7 lety +1

      The transition from the "no" to the death trappiness of this elevator almost made the video feel like the origin story of a supervillain called Schindler. Hilariously enough, I honestly couldn't help but compare alpalJL to Darth Vader at the end of Star Wars Episode III in my head! 😂

    This reminds me of the parking garage elevators at Roosevelt Field in Garden City, NY when they were running badly! Those might have been worse though. I wonder if this elevator will still be this way next time I go to this area, but I assume it will get fixed.
    2:30 Would it have ran with the hoistway doors open that far? I don't think they should be able to open that far.

    • @alpaljl

    @EvergreenElevators Před 11 měsíci +1

    VERY late comment to an old video, I know. But I used to constantly rewatch this video out of fascination!
    I think the cause of this issue is lack of oil/lubricant on the hydraulic piston. I experienced severe rumbling on an older MontgomeryKONE hydro before, and it acted similarly to this.
    The scraping when leveling going up points to my notion of the cause. A lot of people claim it's a guide rail or guide wheels/rollers, but the squeaking being caused by that just doesn't make sense to me.
    Still very bizarre, but it is very unfortunate we lost this store out of relevancy. I would've loved to ride this if this store was still open.

      I know of a vintage elevator near San Diego (Coronado). It is a gated Otis elevator, at the Hotel Marisol Coronado. I also know of some vintage elevators in Arizona, but I don't know which parts of Arizona you are visiting.

      @upanddownadventures Před 8 lety

      thewildeeper
      No, the one I am talking about is a different one. There is also a gated elevator at Glorietta Bay Inn, but I think it only serves 1 room (I asked for permission to ride it, and they said that someone was staying in that room, but if I go there when no one is staying in that room, then they would show me the elevator). Another gated elevator (this one has been filmed before) is at the Ramada Gaslamp in San Diego. The Plaza Hotel in San Diego has a manually-controlled Otis elevator, but another elevator enthusiast I think was told to leave the building when he went there (it is not a hotel, it is an apartment building).
