HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIMLIELEVATORS!!!! Yes, today JimLiElevators just turned 21 years old, and to celebrate, we have these AMAZING, COMPLETELY ORIGINAL, 1972 Otis VIP 260 Circle Touch Sensitive Elevators to ride!!!! And man do they go super fast!!!!! ESPECIALLY Car 1 which I ride later in the video!!!! These launch like ROCKETS and STOP HARD, and going down they DROP LIKE ROCKS, LIKE TOWER OF TERROR!!!! This 19 story building opened in 1972, and many buildings from this time have been heavily renovated. NOT THIS ONE!!! And plus the elevator system is ORIGINAL too, INCLUDING the REAL WOOD Cabs!!!!! The Parking Elevators were modded and I didn't both filming them, and maybe like 3 offices were renovated but other than that this building (and it's elevators) remain COMPLETELY ORIGINAL and UNTOUCHED from 1972!!!! The Art on the elevator doors was cool too!!! These all also have the Classic Otis Door Operator hum and EPIC Mechanical Otis Bells, and are nearly in MINT CONDITION!!!!! These are somewhat similar to the Pinnacle, but the cabs are original on these unlike those, these go FASTER, and they are MUCH MORE RELIABLE!!! And hopefully these don't get modded EVER!!!!! With that all being said, let's ride these AMAZING Elevators in this Amazing Building and Happy Birthday Jim!!!!
