Otis Modded Westinghouse Low and High Rise Traction Elevators - 200 South College (Charlotte, NC)

Here are some older Westinghouses that have been modded twice. Once in the Circa 1990's by Schindler with EPCO WGH fixtures, and again by Otis in 2011-2013 with their Micromotion3 Buttons and EPCO OIP lanterns (except the 3rd which has Innovation) on the outside, and generic Innovation Prestige on the inside.

While generic, the mods are very strange, including High Rise which has an older Microwave Beep Floor Pass, which sounds similar to many 80's Otis Floor Pass chimes and threw me into confusion for a bit. These run fine overall, though the set of low rise are a bit inconsistent with choosing their elevators from a call.
