Replacement 2007/2008 Thyssenkrupp Traction Elevator at Ocean Towers (N Myrtle Beach, SC)

1 year ago
15

This tower, according to the records, mentions that there was once an Otis, likely a Series 1 Traction, put in around 1985. Around either 2007 or 2008, Thyssenkrupp completely gutted the Otis and put in a fresh SPF Model TK Elevator in it's place. The outside call panels scream SlopFusion Slop On, but the inside COP and the exterior indicator likely shows that this is a full on complete replacement, likely ripping the old cab out and installing a fresh cab. You can tell this is a fresh install due to the indicator, phone section, and door tracks to name some key points.

This mostly has New Traditional Buttons on the inside, minus the call panels that have MAD BS Classic and the Door Buttons replaced with MAD BS CA. This thing runs pretty good, and was a good call on TKE to fully replace the cab other than slopping some cheap SlopFusion garbage on, getting a glitchy mod controller, and having this thing break down constantly. They need to take the full replacement approach more often.
