The iconic Schindler Miconic 10 elevators at the JW Marriott in Washington DC

(📹 7/23/2023) Here are the world famous Schindler Miconic 10 elevators at the JW Marriott in Washington DC. They still run well to this day and are fantastic elevators. My only problem with these is that they are a little slow for 18 floors. Otherwise they are still fun. The accessibility mode on this sounds like it was upgraded telling by the second generation Schindler voice annunicator in conjunction with the third generation (current Schindler voice) voice.
