Epic Motor! Seelar Oildraulic elevator - Metro Center - Erie PA

(📹 2/24/2025) This is one of three sets of elevators at the Metro Center in Erie PA. This is a Seelar/Dover Oildraulic elevator from 1979 with Traditional fixtures. This is the last elevator installed here. There's a completely original Dover Oildraulic freight elevator from 1974 down the hallway on the basement floor, and there's two Otis basement tractions with Lexan fixtures from 1966, but they are sadly getting modded by Otis. This one's got an awesome dry powered motor.
