(5-27-22) In this video, I get to take a ride and look at the machine of this MASSIVE TALL freight elevator in the Sears/Willis Tower in Chicago, IL! This elevator is F3 which is the freight/service elevator that goes from LL1 all the way up to floor 102! This elevator at the time of recording this was still an original Westinghouse elevator with relay logic! It was one of the only remaining original elevators left in the building and one of the only remaining high rise DMR systems left. This elevator still has the giant tall panel of buttons that has all the floors on it. This is for sure the most buttons I have ever seen on an elevator before! The elevator has been slightly converted to Otis's Compass system. There is a new compass panel outside which you use to call the elevator, but all that system does now is activate the floor on the relay system you want to go to. On the way up and down the elevator does make stops at 34 and 67 which is marked by the "stop" tape by those floors. After taking a ride, we then got to check out the controller and machine for this elevator. I've seen a lot of relay logic systems and selectors, but the size of this controller blew my mind. The height of the cabinet is about two floors tall and the mechanical selector spans the entire length of the controller! A big shoutout to Andrew for arranging this tour and the elevator technician for giving us this once in a lifetime tour of this elevator and building!
