2008 Thyssenkrupp Aurora Hydraulic Elevator w Signa4 Buttons at Forest View Building (Boone NC)

No I ain't kidding about the Signa4 button thing. If you look closely at the buttons, they stick out more, seem more glossy looking, and press differently compared to actual Aurora. It does seem at first that Signa4 and Aurora share fonts, but I have a feeling they used Red LEDs and Aurora Fonts, but used Signa4 Button Caps. Apparently, there are a couple cases of Late 2000's (Post Discontinuation of Aurora) Aurora using Signa4 Buttons on YT, and I saw examples like this in TN when I filmed two Auroras that were installed as Late as 2010.

Anyways, the Signa4 Buttons on this Aurora makes this basic cab a lot more unique! The weirdest thing is that this wasn't tested until 2019, which is odd. Friendly reminder about NC Records:
Testing Date ≠ Install Date

From what I could find though, this place was built in 2008, and that seems to fit the possible install year of this elevator just right.
