Uncommon Elevators
Приєднався 10 гру 2012
Howdy! I have an unusual but very strong interest in elevators, escalators, and other forms of vertical transportation. I especially like to find old or rare elevators. I film at locations all around the Washington DC area and occasionally in other cities.

I was impressed at how smooth these are compared to most high-speed elevators.

These were installed during that weird era in the 90s when old-looking apartment buildings were in style.

Generic Hydraulic Elevators 4 and 5 at Ballston Metro Station, Arlington VA

Both of these elevators were added in 2005 and have not been modded. They copied the original 1970s style WMATA elevator canopy, but made it double wide for two elevators.

This is one of the two original elevators. It was modded in the 2000s.

Car 1 is original to the station and got modded in the 2010s. Car 3 was added in 2005 and has not been modded. This one also has one of the best motors in the metro system.

At least they left the motors alone
These look awesome! I still need to make it here
Right across from this elevator, there used to be a glass car that went express to 18. It got removed 10+ years ago, but you can still see the shaft from the little lobby that is next to the parking garage. You can also see it’s shaft from outside
I saw that. Too bad it's gone, but it must have been a nightmare to maintain. From what I hear it was an open-air shaft.
@@UncommonElevators It was
Since when did you come up here???
All my stamford videos were filmed last may. I was in NYC and did a day trip here.
WTF
The meme: oops pizza bur- Fire alarm: Rrrrr rrrrr rrrr
I’m sure you got it, but there’s a second US on this campus.
I went there on Thursday. There was a security desk and chair in the lobby. But I started filming on B3
I used to live in Crystal City!
that bell sounds like it's out of adjustment
Old school
is this in an apartment complex where the four main elevators just got modded?
To my knowledge nothing here has been modded
@@UncommonElevators gotcha, rules out where I though it was (Quimby on 23rd)
I believe this is getting modernized or outright replaced. The whole building is under renovation
I just looked it up and it sounds like you're right. I don't remember much about this building but it certainly needed some help. I toured this college many years ago and did my filming trip in 2022. Both times I noticed that a lot of buildings were run-down.
That's what happens when you have multiple 150 year old buildings to maintain lol. Doesn't seem like you hit a lot while you were here. I'm scouring the records, a few buildings have freights and old passenger cars. The labs especially
Is it accesable on the first floor? Could always open it with the USE1 fire key lol
I think it opens into a locked storage room. Using a fire key is a risk beyond what I'm willing to do for this channel. I did manage to film three soft touches in College Park that will be uploaded soon.
It's not really a risk unless it sets off a supervisory or trouble on a fire alarm panel. Not pressuring, just informing.
Surprised they didn’t mod it when they installed the 3300
Dang that really sucks. I'm sure that US elevator is in great condition too.
I expect this.
That’s very odd it has the same indicator Mitsubishi used on their hydros
I never filmed this elevator before.
Sadly the showroom elevator and escalator got a mod
Another old elevator bites the dust
i love the sound of the chime
Nice classic music too
see u in 3 years
I never knew about this elevator. I’ll have to make it down here soon
I'm sure a lot of people are gonna see this comment in 5 years
Nah they got voices in the backrooms now
Weird UA-cam recommending me this video now and not 5 years later...
See you guys in 15 years lol
Perfect start for another Half-Life-like game.

This isn’t fixed because the IT guy lost faith after fixing a problem by restarting a server after being assured that the restart has been completed (it wasn’t).
Another apartment complex that needs an elevator door to be fixed. Too bad you don't talk in every video.
Yeah, this definitely going to the UA-cam's algorithm time capsule.
This sounds like a half life 2 level
Ok I’m sure this video will get millions of views in few years and people might say this is so nostalgia,anyone seeing this 20** or this is masterpiece
Wait a minute! I thought you had to be key carded to press the floors
Definitely messed up...
Sounds like a US/Dover Chime
You have to be key carded to access the floors in the hotel! Due to security
Sounds like shit. It did back in November too lol
I’ve seen Monties with bumpers.
coincidence that theres an a series almost identical to this that’s in toledo ohio lol
I don't even think there are that many private Gen3s in general in the DMV. the only ones I know of are in the fairfax corner apartments, but we'll probably see more with how many new builds are going up. we do know that one of the new construction retail elevators at fairfax corner will be a gen3 edge @150 fpm. the other will be a kone.
Adam found a set of them somewhere in DC and I found some at the Grace and Reva apartments in Crystal City. There's also a public retail elevator in that complex which wasn't working, but it might be hydraulic.
@@UncommonElevators right, i forgot I did watch Adam's video of the ones in DC. so then we know of 2-3 in arlington, some at UMD, three (350 fpm) at FFXC vista apts, one under construction at fairfax corner retail. i think TKE is digging into Otis's share in some areas - reston town center new construction is mostly TKE, including the 39 story apartment tower. i'll recheck the place you mentioned in arlington if i'm ever out there
Hey, you were on my campus!
@@AdazElevatorz Yes, it was about two months ago but I’d be happy to come back. I filmed the two soft touches here and the one in the aviation museum.

The college I went to still has these bells in their library. The building was built in 1995.
Wow that's better than the elevators in the Allen center. The doors close sooooooo slowly.
Are these the elevators that is getting modded?
Yes
@@UncommonElevators I’m going today
