I will be in fear of that video. Being on top of an elevator like that super duper scary and very dangerous. Glad you were careful and didn’t let go of anything but I found what you did was horrifying, scary and dangerous good thing no one saw or no death and injuries

Amazing vintage winding drum elevator, DC hoist motor MG set and original controller still in service. This was built to keep on going for decades has done so indeed. Appears to be a 2nd machine in the the room, next to the one that was running, sounds a bit rough on the communicator.

Apparently, when it was the PanAm building, they used to be the fastest elevators in the world between 1963 and 1969 at speeds of around 1700 ft/min, because those two express elevators, EE5 and EE6 we saw, they served as shuttle elevators back when the very top of the building had a heliport for flying taxis in New York.
@metropolitanelevators2 ай бұрын
That’s interesting! They must’ve been slowed down because they now go 1400 ft/min. :(

Years ago you needed a special key to be able to press the hidden floor buttons. It wasn't marked, just a key slot in the panel next to the supervisor maintenance key slot and the fire key slot. And the supervisor key and fire key also gave you access to the hidden floors I used to have a master key that worked for most of the elevators for the supervisor and the hidden floor key slot. Unfortunately 30 years ago they started replacing the keys with RFID security systems and those can't be bypassed. I tried to get a fire key but those are not available. At least I was not able to find anyone willing to sell one. I had that key for safety more than anything else. After being stuck in an elevator when the power cut out for 30 seconds the elevator got stuck and they took 2 hours to get me out. I found out later that the supervisor key would have reset it to allow it to move to the next floor and I went searching for a master key that day. I miss the old days

I hope that this lower level platform needs to be renovated. Get rid of the graffiti, put new tiles on the wall, add some lighting and it will look better than it usually were.
