@@DieselDucyno problem that reminds me from Austin Texas I got to ride my second one in Austin, Texas and Marriott hotel in downtown if you ever go there you could ride the elevators that you get to see there and that’s where my dad lives
GREAT VIDEO!!!! AN AMAZING ELEVATOR SYSTEM FROM OTIS!!! This was one of the first CompassPlus elevator systems on UA-cam aside from the one Me and +Elevating Denver filmed.
+Uphoisting Experiences by Technicalboy3000 Can you go a single video without saying stuff like that!?!?!? Like you wanting Schindler PORT or Thyssnekrupp DSC and not OTIS CompassPlus!!?!?!? I understand you don't like it however things change and this mod was needed. the Westinghouse Selectomatics were vandalized badly, we're developing controller issues like random calls, and also, this is a VERY BUSY "Cathedral" that is more than 30 stories. Not to mention, since this is the cathedral of learning, students go here and they need a ride up to the top FAST so they aren't late for class
Floridian Elevators The only thing that catches my eye with Otis is the clearly visible emergency phone which is easy access for handicapped people that get stuck
Well I'm glad you got the old panels from the elevators instead of somebody else getting them or even them being thrown away and scraped in the garbage. I really think you're the one who deserves them after all! Now about those Otis Touch-Sensitive fixtures at the old Kaufmann's store especially the call stations on them... do you got any word on them?
Kinda reminds me of the elevators at 220 Portage Ave in Winnipeg except it’s kinda like a Schindler Port where it doesn’t have a keypad if you know what I mean.
This was an Amazing video! ANd I really like the Otis Compass. especially their chimes. THey are far more intresting than the KONE Polaris I have found around Stockholm.
+Uphoisting Experiences by Technicalboy3000 EPCO is a fixture company like CJA, Innovation and GAL. They are NOT an elevator company!!!!! They make fixtures for more generic companies and sometimes formerly Westinghouse and currently Schindler. They also make fixtures for Northern and Baxter and Sons elevators.
HOLD ON!!! You said that the Cathedral Of Learning has or had an observation deck on it?! WOW!!! I sure hope they reopen it to the public someday! I didn't know they had an observation deck on it! I mean I think I knew a little about it just recently when I was on Google Earth. Nice photos too.
Great job Andrew! I’m glad that the University bided for Otis rather than Schindler for this mod, even though PORT isn’t bad. Remember Andrew, they’re not just any Otis Compass, but Otis CompassPlus! BTW, was the O Car finished with modernization, or was it still in the process? It’s a real shame that I couldn’t meet you since I just happened to be out of town, because I actually live in Pittsburgh.
He was actually with that user, but either wasn’t on camera, or didn’t come with him to the Cathedral this time. Although I know he was on camera at some other buildings. He’s met Patrick both times he’s come to PGH.
+Uphoisting Experiences by Technicalboy3000 I saw a video pnwelevator filmed of a 1969 Dover with GAL Black Buttons and the emergency phone was a blackberry lol.
Actually car H and F do not serve all the floors but the ones across the hall do. There were several floors that elevator does not serve, however they still light up on the counter.
+Uphoisting Experiences by Technicalboy3000 These are no longer relay controlled. They has relay logic controllers when they were Westinghouse but now they are 100% computer based with OTIS' solid state microprocessor computer controllers with CompassPlus.
Floridian Elevators What Microprocessor means, if the elevator gets stuck, then after x amount of seconds, it will proceed to the next floor or nearest floor if inside the express zone. I hope this is true, I wouldn't want to be stuck in a Gen2 or Synergy for more than an hour.
Not fond of the new system. The black plastic and silver plastic and touch screens feel pretty disrespectful to the building itself. Looks very out of place relative to the building itself, whereas the original button enclosure and wall plates fit the building much more nicely. Certainly the new system eases congestion, but is there any actual customization you can get such as face plates or different enclosures that actually match their surroundings better?
+PAelevators I heard word from other technicians that you lied to those OTIS technicians and almost costed them their jobs... Way to go, you fucking sick kid. I really hope you're happy although I doubt you care one bit.
+Elevator Freak No they techs did not almost loose there jobs I'm still in contact with them and stuff they love me now if you have nothing positive to say don't say anything st all
Yes, Westinghouse Selectomatic Mark IV w/ some rare VR fixtures. To find a video of what these looked like before, just search “elevator Cathedral”, & you should find something.
+Steven Vilagi +Dieselducy's least favorite elevator company is KONE. He told me on Snapchat. His favorite is Dover/Thyssenkrupp and CJ Anderson, but I know he loves OTIS and Schindler a lot too.
As much as the old Westinghouse elevators were nice with the vintage look and custom vandal resistant fixtures, I think the Otis elevators are much nicer, smoother, and more reliable. However, it would have been cool if they went with CJ Anderson fixtures, since this is a beautiful historic building, and for the complete elevator/building/machine room visit, maybe you can post them on April 21st.
+Uphoisting Experiences by Technicalboy3000 TBH I would rather take OTIS Compass any-day over Schindler PORT even though Schindler was the first company to come up with the destination dispatch system in the first place (It's true) before other companies took their ideas and ran with them. Although I don't think Innovation would look good in a historic building like this compared to CJ Anderson.
+Star City Elevators The Building is being renovated and many of the floors are complete updated with motion activated lighting and state of the are presentation rooms. Several of the floors look like a newer office building. This is a mixed use building between classrooms and offices. The floors 1-3 still have their character and have the historic value to it. while its a historic building they want to keep it up to date to compete with other schools. Thats why the elevators look so modern.
+patricknedz Yeah you tell him! I definitely like the new design of the cabs way better than the old look back when they were Selectomatic. Though I am gonna totally miss those rare Westinghouse Type-C VR fixtures but I'm glad I visited that place before they were totally gone.
+BayStateElevators At this point I would not recommend meeting Paelevators PM me on facebook or here for details. Patrick Nedz would be a better candidate to show you elevators you want to see.
Both versions of these lifts (elevators) are awesome! Never seen a cathedral that high.
Amazing new elevators

Now this is a very lit mod. Otis did a very good job on this new Otis Compass. Overall. This mod was needed. So these controllers are very lit
Why is car g’s lantern not illuminated? Like the lettering is not light up
That was the last car to get done being modernized so at the time G was not in service.

What voice is on the elevators?
American Otis gen2 voice
@@northernirishlifts It's just the American Otis voice, not Gen2.
Westinghouse Modernized Otis Compasses Elevator. Nice
what is the song at the end?
I kept hearing relays on the way up to the 36th floor are these relay controlled?
They don’t click anymore.
I think the clicking was the positioner.
Wow, that's awesome!
You spelled Compass wrong in the intro
I got stuck in the same kind of Otis compass elevator at a dorm building on Pitts campus.
Oh no!
Kinda reminds me of the elevators at 220 Portage Ave in Winnipeg except it’s kinda like a Schindler Port where it doesn’t have a keypad if you know what I mean.
When you going up you can hear the elevator pushing the individual floor limit switchs.
How did you get your hands on the old elevator Buttons dieselducy?
I think he talked to the University & Otis.
EvMast Productions Very cool.
IT HAS A 13TH FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR
Otis did a great job modernizing those elevators
Yes, it is a great mod.
Awesome mods, but they're seems a little bit slow for 36 floors IMO.
Do you have the fixtures from the elevator that goes from 36 to 40?
I don't think so.
I wached your channel for 4 years
+JImmy Abgarian THANKS SO MUCH!
+DieselDucy I have been here since 2007
:D
Are you going to be doing the O car to the 40th floor in the future video?
Where did cars A, B, C, and D gone
Not sure
I like ur videos keep up the good work! ❤

It was off the elevator machine room on the 38th floor. currently not open to the public
Have you uploaded the machine room tour? If so can you post a link to the video? I wasn't able to find it.
I don’t think he ever did from what I can recall. Or if he did, it isn’t public.
I think these elevators are kind of like the ones at 220 Portage Ave. in Winnipeg. Except, I think the plate is silver instead of black
Awesome
Floor indicator has a sound of clicks
It doesn’t do that anymore though.
Elevating Western PA oh how do you know that
You mean series of clicks
Super Spamming Starfish & logan w/ the dragons no sound of clicks mean its relay controled

A sign next to the elevator to take the steps (MPE) if you are going 3 or lower floors. Sad :( :( :(
