This was modded by Smartrise and this mod is something pretty crappy! The most recent records say KONE, but after digging though some older ones it's clear that Smartrise did this mod.

These are just some basic early 80s Escos here. They also have a "Dover buzz" floor-passing chime which is weird. Note the hand sanitizer dispenser fail at 3:15 lol.

This elevator is really strange. I have never seen a generic layout like this before, and I have been told that this is an Alltech which is a local Wisconsin based company. I had to start inside the elevator because there was someone sitting near the elevator on the first floor and there was an office that had its doors open on the 2nd floor adjacent to the elevator. The call station on the first floor was Adams, not Innovation like the COP is. Anyway off to MKE airport after this!

I was kinda disappointed to see these modernized. I was hoping for some epic series 1 tractions, but NOPE. At least TK did the mod and it was cool to see their new logo on a modernization. This is probably one of the lesser exciting TK mods I've came by.

This is an idea I had for a new compilation. I know I had several elevator videos with some nice music playing in the background while filming and this is a compilation of all of those videos. I'm not sure if it will hit as much as the epic reaction compilation that I have scheduled for next month. (P.S. it's gonna be epic.)

Here's my 2nd trip to Milwaukee and this flight was overall very mediocre. United seems to have delays very commonly and that's what happened here. We had one gate change and our plane was delayed 3 hours, plus another hour of taxiing to the runway. Also the seats in United's E-170/175s are super uncomfortable.

This one is also pretty boring. I wonder what that weird noise was when the elevator was going down. I can't tell if it's the elevator making that noise or not.
