THEY'RE GETTING MODDED! 1981 Westinghouse & 1983 Dover at Sugar Land Medical Building

Filmed on August 17, 2018: Here are 2 of my childhood elevators in this local dentist office I used to go to that are biting the dust. There you have it! More mods coming along the way. I am honestly at the point right now to where I am getting sick and tired of these modernizations on my all-time favorite (old vintage) elevators that are happening; it's getting definitely old now. Anyways, on with the video. I had nearly forgot about this place that had 2 original vintage elevators from the 1980's since 2012 up until this year I've remembered, so I wanted to get a full HD take of them. First of all, I was mainly gonna film a high-quality video of the Westinghouse elevator until when I saw a wood cover with a swing door outside boxed around the elevator doorjambs right after I entered the building, I was heavily shocked! Thankfully, I got an HD take of the Dover which sadly is out of commission as of October 29, 2018. Here I show off an older video I took back in 2012 of both of the elevators on my DSC-W55 which sadly the quality is terrible because I did not have a good camera back then, but I at least have a video of the Westy in advance to show a preservation memory. As I stated in the video which you heard, these are 2 of my childhood elevators I used to ride when I came here for my doctor's appointment a VERY VERY VERY long time ago! I grew up riding both the Westinghouse and the Dover elevator. The downside of the Westy was that the motor was noisy according to my mom (it started with a jolt and vibrated when I filmed this in 2012), but the Dover ran better. I came here on November 2th after they just finished the Westy, which is now a SmartRise (video coming soon). Unfortunately, the modded elevator did not run good either as started with a big jolt going up and stopped SO HARD after going down! See, what I mean? This is the reason why I hate modernization 'cause the ride quality is horrible. The only good thing about the modded SmartRise that was originally a Westinghouse is that it doesn't vibrate anymore when going up. I bet that the SmartRise for the Dover that's currently in the process of modernization is gonna run just as poorly as the SmartRise on the Westy. I did speak to the elevator technicians who working on the elevators inside the facility if they could help me save some parts from the mod, but the building owner and chef engineer wanted to keep the push buttons and anything that's brass. But no complaints; 'cause already have elevator parts from a good amount of my favorite old vintage elevators (as I've just showed my elevator collection display in my previous videos recently), so why whine about it? Anyways, with that said, I hope you enjoy the video of my once childhood elevators that are on the chopping block.
