RARE! Otis Series 1 Hydraulic Elevator with Series 5 controls at WakeMed Parking Garage in Cary, NC.

Video Recorded on July 29, 2022: Wow! I've NEVER seen a basic Otis Series 1 that has a Series 5 controller built into it! Just like any Otis Series 1, you might think it just plain basic, but think again! Upon entering the elevator cab and selecting a floor, I clearly a chime from an Otis Series 5 like literally on a Series 1. Not only that, but you can clearly see a Series 5 floor indicator retrofitted over the Series 1 indicator on top. Aside being a basic elevator, this is definitely by far the most rarest and unique finds of all times. I'm sure many people who live or visited Raleigh filmed this as well. Installed in 2000 (controller most likely updated at a later time).

it kinda looks like it was modded from a series 1 into a series 5 but retrofitted the new indicator into the old one. that is very nice and rare!

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

Is this a Series 15??

[@ElevatorsInternational]

WOW! That’s a neat Otis elevator mix! I’ve NEVER seen anything like that before! Otis Series 1 retrofitted with a Series 5 indicator, floor passing beep, and Fire Service added on, cool! Those Otis Series 5 components was mostly added on in the 2000s. I have filmed elevators in Hospitals with My Guide Dog during this time, but I have reasons to be there obviously.

Now that is something.

[@RealTony123YT]

that is really awesome, an elevator with newer controls but older physics

[@HaileyJohn12]

That's an interesting thing they've done. I like how they retrofitted the series 5 indicator into it.

[@cameraking1237]

That elevator is very interesting that it has the Series 5 chimes on an Series 1. Never seen something like this before.

[@Photoelectric_Elevators]

Nah this is the actual series 6 because 1+5=6... That's why we have Series 5 NEL

[@gradientgamer5480]

im happy they kept the original COP and Buttons

[@westinghouse14]

Cursed elevator

[@flightlevel3608]

I've always loved the Otis Series 1 through 4 hall lantern chime on a Series 5, but I've also never heard of the 2 being mashed together. Who knew this would exist? Great find!!

[@StephenPhillips]

What. On. Earth. Bizarre mix.

[@aaronmanchester3194]

Cool how you can see the indent of the Series 5 indicator.

[@Highwayelevators]

Very bizzare mod.
